Red, White, and Clear Flower in Rain Flower Agate, Nanjing, China:
$200.00

This river-polished stone must have tumbled for thousands of years and almost as many miles in the Yangtze River. With its headwaters in the Tangulla Mountains, the Yangtze runs a mostly eastern course of about 4,000 miles to Nanjing, China, and then flows on to the East China Sea. In the areas surrounding Nanjing, the rain flowers are explained by way of a myth which holds that flowers once fell from the sky and, when they touched earth, turned into colorful stone, or the Yuhua Rain Pebble, or Agate. Fiercely collected by natives in and around Nanjing—and now by collectors around the world—these stones are delightful both to the eye and to the touch, so smooth are their colorful, worn skins. This particular rain flower is remarkable not only for its strong color, but also for its cooperative bandings; these make a highly complex and beautifully colored flower cup. The agate measures approximately 1 3/4” x 1 1/8” x 1” and weighs 2.2 ounces. Free US shipping only.
