This substantial 22.9-pound Chinese Picture Jasper sphere, measuring 7.7 inches in diameter, is crafted from natural dendritic siltstone or limestone sourced in China. Also known as Chinese Painting Stone or Guo Hua stone, it features extraordinary, naturally formed patterns that evoke traditional Chinese ink wash landscapes, including mountains, trees, and waterfalls. Created over millions of years through mineral-rich silt and ancient river water permeating cracks and solidifying under heat and pressure, each sphere is a unique piece that combines geological history with artistic beauty.
Designated for our Reserve Collection, this piece stands apart due to its magnificent quality.
