Stone of the Month: July 2012 Yadan Stone "The Snail"
This figure-shaped Yadan stone resembles a giant snail. Its display on a large wooden slab with a small bronze snail reinforces the appearance of the stone to its real life counterpart. Yadan stones originate from the desert regions of Xinjiang Province in northwestern China. They have become popular viewing stones in China in recent years for their unusual shapes and surface texture patterns.
This stone is small by most Yadan stone standards, “The Snail” is only 15 cm wide, 13 cm deep, and 9 cm high and is owned by Glennis Bebb of Brisbane, Australia.
