INSPIRED BY NATURE
Viewing stone appreciation is inspired by natural geological features, biological entities—people, animals, plants—and less so by artifacts—boats, huts, bridges. In this new section, we will be featuring unusual geological and biological elements that can or have influenced the collection of an unusual rock to view for its aesthetic qualities. We want you to look to nature for guidance to the types of rocks to add to your collection.
Famous mountains globally can inspire stone-viewing collectors. One of the foremost examples is the revered Mt. Fuji in Japan. It is 3,776 meters (12,388 feet) high and it’s peak is snow-covered during the fall and winter seasons.
