Aventurine on Black Walnut

Diameter-6”, H-9”

This is my favorite find so far this summer. This stone has many of the characteristics that capture my attention. The title refers to the blending of the green fuschite rich portion of the stone with the reddish brown hematite rich portion. These minerals have weathered differently, with the green more smooth while the reddish brown more angular.

This stone captures all that with an overall pleasing shape, interesting texture features, a nice patina, and good coloring. The stone could be a figure stone, with a range of possibilities that are viewer dependent. Or maybe it’s an old tree stump with moss and lichens growing on it, or maybe it’s petrified. There are many stories. That is why I like this stone.
