Chinese Painting Stones The stones are found in the mountains of Southern China. One might say they also look like Chinese paintings. Or, since the stones were formed first ages ago we should say that Chinese paintings resemble or imitate the beauty found in these stones. Chinese Painting Stones carry several names such as Chinese Picture Jasper and in the Guangxi Province of China they are also called Glass and Flower Stone and in some circles Suiseki Guohua Stone (meaning Landscape Picture Stone). However, technically they are dendritic siltstones, formed in the same way as Jaspers, generally with little or no silica nor exposed to extreme pressure or heat. They are sedimentary rock and the colors and patterns are dependent on the minerals in the area where they were formed millions of years ago . A major factor in the design is as the silt from ancient rivers and lakes settled, the water enriched with the various minerals flowed into cracks and fissures and then hardened by heat and pressure. Their hardness can range from 3.5 on the Mohs scale but are usually around 6.5. They are coated with a final touch of gloss clear to add depth. The colors and patterns are all natural, NOT painted.
