These beautiful rocks are naturally eroded limestone. This one was discovered by a member of Ripple Rock Gem and Mineral Club on Texada Island.
These stones can be found in mountain streams, on windblown deserts and along ocean shores. They are often used in the Japanese art of Suiseki which is the study and enjoyment of naturally formed stones as objects of beauty. In Bonsai, they are chosen to represent a part of a scene in nature. Along with these unique works of nature, there will be many other rocks and stones on display at the Ripple Rock Annual Gem and Mineral Show on June 13 and 14 in the Timberline Gym.
