POLISHED CHRYSANTHEMUM STONE

Chrysanthemum stone is the name given to a unique geological formation that resembles stark white flower petals on a dark sedimentary matrix. Depending on locality, the "petals" are formations of calcite, dolomite, chalcedony, or aragonite in a dark sedimentary matrix. They are sourced most frequently from China, though they are also found in Japan, Canada, and the United States.
