Item Description
This is a sparkling plate of solid aragonite that is a thick, soft sky-blue color, with a thin coating of saturated blue atop. It looks like rolling hills of blue clouds, and is simply beautiful, even though it is such a simple mineral species in composition. Common in principle, specimens of this size and condition, with the nice saturated color, are hard to obtain. These come from vast karst caverns in Southern China, near where our Chinese office is located; and so we always scout the local markets for special pieces when I am in China.
