A powerful yet elegant piece in the tradition of Japanese suiseki, crafted in the 1980s. This polished snowflake obsidian stone features a striking pattern of white-gray crystals against a deep black backdrop—like snowflakes drifting through a winter landscape.

The stone rests on a beautifully carved wooden base (daiza), enhancing its serene and balanced presence.

In Japan, suiseki stones are used for meditation and contemplation, often displayed alongside bonsai or in a tokonoma alcove.

Snowflake obsidian is also valued for its symbolism of purification, clarity, and inner harmony.

A distinctive decorative and spiritual object, ideal for Zen interiors, bonsai displays, or as a statement piece in any space.

A harmonious and unique work that radiates natural elegance and tranquility. See less
