What is Chrysanthemum Stone?

Chrysanthemum stone is a dark limestone or mudstone containing white radiating crystals that look like chrysanthemum flowers. The "petals" are usually celestine or calcite, sometimes replaced by other minerals. The best-known material comes from Liuyang in Hunan, China, where it has been carved for centuries, and from Japan, where the chrysanthemum is a symbol of good fortune.
