I have been amassing a small collection of these extraordinarily meditative stones. This is one of the simplest and purest.
The aesthetics of a scholar's rock is based on subtleties of color, shape, markings, surface, and sound. Prized qualities include:
awkward or overhanging asymmetry
resonance or ringing when struck
representation or resemblance to mountainous landscapes, particularly these believed to be inhabited by immortal beings or figures
texture
moistness or glossy surface
The stone may be displayed on a rosewood pedestal that has been carved specifically for the stone. The stones are a traditional subject of Chinese paintings.
