Stone of the Month: 
March 2014 
Watermelon Stone

This is an exceptionally large watermelon stone that is treated as a figure. Most are prized for their texture and surface color. They are found only in shallow waters off the coast of selected areas of Taiwan. These natural smooth to slightly bumpy stones have an interesting pattern of net-like darker lines highlighting a lighter green, light aquamarine to gray surface colors. Many of these stones are small to medium size, but this one is over a meter wide, nearly a meter high and less than a meter wide.
