Chrysanthemum stone is a striking and unique ornamental stone that features flower-like patterns resembling chrysanthemum blossoms. These patterns are formed by natural mineral inclusions within a dark matrix, typically a type of limestone, dolomite, or clay stone. Mineral-rich fluids penetrate the rock, depositing minerals such as celestine, calcite, or andalusite then crystallize in radial, flower-like patterns within the matrix, creating the characteristic chrysanthemum shapes.
Chrysanthemum stone is found in several locations around the world, with notable deposits in:
China's Hunan and Hubei provinces which are well-known for producing high-quality chrysanthemum stones. Japan's Ibaraki Prefecture and Specific regions in British Columbia, Canada.
