Collection: CHRYSANTHEMUM FOSSIL

The name of the stone "chrysanthemum" originated from the kind of intricate patterns that the stone exposes that used to look like petals of a flower chrysanthemum. The term "portrait of a fossil" accurately depicts the exquisite and same-like character of the fossilized sculptures present in the gemstone. 

The Chrysanthemum Stone's unusual appearance is a result of its sheen that can change from matte to vitreous. It typically has the translucence that is intricately carved in gray or black, and sometimes floral patterns of chrysanthemums are inlaid on white or cream colors. Chrysanthemum stone ranks between 2.5 to 3, making it a relatively soft gemstone.   

Chrysanthemum Stone is believed to be the stone that brings the harmony, the balance, and the metamorphosis of the masses. It is thought to facilitate the development and change, bring forth the creative power, and sharpen self-discovery skills. The spiritual aspect of this gemstone is connected to a state of enlightenment, emotional healing and inner serenity.

How is Chrysanthemum Fossil Gemstone Formed?

Chrysanthemum is formed from a combination of calcite (limestone), dolomite, and minor gypsum. The minerals, through compaction and crystallization over a time frame of millions of years, create floral-patterned stones which give the impression of a chrysanthemum bloom. 

Is Chrysanthemum Fossil Gemstone Rare?

Since Chrysanthemum Stone is formed through specific rock, it can only be found in a few places in the world. Even though it is common in many places around the world, the ones with clear and obvious floral patterns are very rare and are collected by enthusiasts.
