Our Chinese sources have furnished us with another striking example of the mineral bounty of their country. This is a new find of carved and polished jasper picture stone from a less well-known area. This striking, two-sided, large cabinet piece has two outdoor, country scenes of sparsely covered, wooded hillsides below a grayish sky. They look like paintings from Chinese murals or room dividers. Art in stone. The measurements include the custom-made wooden base. Weighs 7.3 pounds or 3.3 kilograms.
