About the Item
A natural malachite rock specimen in form of an upright slab with striking green and black colors fitted on a wood stand for viewing and meditating. The front and sides of the gemstone feature tight and small polished botryoidal form, revealing a beautiful, mottled pattern with layers in contrasting green and black matrixes. The back exposes the natural state with malachite growth fused in the bedrock. The vertical slab form rock is displayed as a viewing stone on a fitted wood base by an American collector of Chinese scholar rocks.
Known as "Peacock Rock" in Chinese, there was a more recent tradition in China (from Qing Dynasty and on) to collect the exotic gemstones such as malachite and turquoise specimen and place them in the study as the viewing stones. It was believed that it has power to bless the family and ward off evils.
