- Though chrysanthemum stones were first discovered over 200 years ago in China. They were first formed over 250 million years ago, in what is now considered to be the Permian Age. During the Permain Age, thick layers of mud settled on the bottom of the sea. This mud was full of organic material, and calcite and celestite formed within the muck on the sea floor.
- As the layers of mud were compressed and hardened, and more mud layered atop more mud, the celestite and calcite deposits grew outward in radial patterns in the solidifying limestone. The flower on the chrysanthemum stone is made up of celestite, calcite, andalusite or feldspar, though celestite and calcite are most common. They grew against a base of black limestone, dolomite or gypsum.
- Structure The white "flower" on Chrysanthemum stone consists of Andalusite, Celestite, Feldspar or Calcite while the black base rock is Dolomite, Limestone, Porphyry or Clay Gypsum Colour Mainly Black and White, but can also may be brown and white - depends on the minerals present.
