This beautiful pattern stone was found by Freeman Wang in a huge pile of cobbles removed from the Yangtze River for use in construction. It was fortunate that he found this before it was crushed. It is a medium-sized stone 22 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 6.6 cm deep. The calcite patterns resembles orchids that are loved by many Chinese. Some westerner observers of this stone see a “bird-of-paradise” pattern, while others may see a bamboo leaf pattern. Regardless, this is a great stone. The ability to communicate different meanings to viewers in different regions of the world is an important aspect of stone appreciation.
