These Chinese Picture Jasper self-standing cubes, measuring 2.1 to 2.4 inches cubed and approximately 1 pound, are a striking display of nature’s artistry. Found in the mountains of southern China, especially near Dali in Yunnan Province, Chinese Picture Jasper is a sedimentary stone admired for its natural landscape-like patterns. Also known as Chinese Painting Stone, Chinese Scenery Jasper, or Shui Mo stone, meaning “water ink” stone, these remarkable pieces often resemble traditional brush paintings with scenes reminiscent of mountains, mist, and distant horizons, all formed by nature.
