That's a beaut! What are you applying to the stone to give it such a deep sheen?
Lovely image.
What's going on with the 'gritty' looking band at the base of the stone where it sits in the daiza? Does the stone change texture there for some reason? I've not seen that before.
Very interesting, thanks for the explanation!Tom, that is very typical of Furuya stones collected in the Wakayama prefecture. They are composed of two different mineral layers. The basal flattened layer is called kutsu or shoe in Japanese. In nature that bottom layer faces up while the eroded portion faces down which through erosion forms what we generally perceive as mountain ranges, rocky outcrops, etc. So essentially we are appreciating the stone upside down.

Fantastic stone! Yet another financial diversion to come to wrestle with...me, not you, Sergio.
My wife an I both enjoy my stones..These are so cool!
Do you read up on stone appreciation? or collect just to have these....they are magnificent to say the least,but I never taken it any further than that....as for my appreciation of them.
I often wanted to read up on stone appreciation.
I forgot to mention earlier that whoever crafted the daiza did an impeccable job. It looks flawless to me.
These are so cool!
