Hello Djtommy, no problem! I guess there is no point in turning this discussion into a promotion for the "tortoratora' item, regardless of what they may say. I think a quick review of their other products offered will speak for itself.
As far as the authentic Neo Valley Chyrsanthemum stone that I have listed on eBay is concerned, I have done my homework on it, and also reached out for informed opinions from the Suiseki community.
Here is a link to post from a very well informed enthusiast, on a major Suiseki forum, that agrees with my conclusion that my stone, shown above, is a Neo Valley Chrysanthemum stone.
