The elegant figures represented in Figure 13 and 14
are classic examples of figure stones. These two stones
in our collection come from locations thousands of
miles apart. Figure 13 was found in a Northern Cali-
fornia stream and Figure 14 is a yellow wax stone from
China embraced by a very finely carved southern-style
stand.
Our collection also includes pool stones. Figure 15
is a very fine pool stone. If you closely observe, the
right lip of the pool appears to have water flowing
down the side of the stone. The pool itself is deep and
almost perfectly round.
Figure 16 is reminiscent of a very old thatched hut
(reference Figure 17), a stone with a wonderful patina
created through years of being held and observed.
