 | "Beautiful Hand-Cut slices of Shu Fa Stone. Each piece is a unique work of natures art of geometric pattern and color. The bewitching color comes from a thin rind of translucent, botryoidal, lavendar, green and white fluorite which drapes over the sandstone matrix. Regarded as the most abstract and sublime form of art in Chinese culture, "Shu Fa" (calligraphy) is often thought to be most revealing of one's personality. During the imperial era, calligraphy was used as an important criterion for selection of executives to the Imperial court. Unlike other visual art techniques, all calligraphy strokes are permanent and incorrigible, demanding careful planning and confident execution. Such are the skills required for an administrator / executive. While one has to conform to the defined structure of words, the expression can be extremely creative. To exercise humanistic imagination and touch under the faceless laws and regulations is also a virtue well appreciated." Location: Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China Size: 20.3 x 20.3 x 2.5 cm.
