Stone of the Month: 
March 2015 
Moore Stone

These stones were raised from a river in Guangxi Province, China. They are medium- to large-size, are found in wonderful and fascinating shapes, and are gray to grayish-bronze in color. Some of these resemble Henry Moore sculpture, hence the modern name for these stones. They were once used to sharpen scissors and knives. This figure stone, which measures 34 cm wide, 24 cm high, and 18 cm deep, is in the collection of Tom Elias and Hiromi Nakaoji.
