Really? I don't see any in San Jose area here. I have hard time try
to find them on eBay too. Can you tell me what key word(s) to search
under? I use "Rhodonite painting" or "Rhodonite lanscape" and comes
up nothing. Serach under "Rhodonite" and just come up with bunch
necklance and stuff. Let me know, thank you.

You can find Rhodonite just about anywhere in the world, in Vancouver
almost every shop in Chinatown has it for sale as a landscape scene. I
pick up the odd piece at flea markets. Look at ebay lots there listed.
This landscape type Rhodonite is not pure - meaning it has inclusions
within making it less valuable.

Subject: [IBC] Have anyone heard of Rhodonite (Rose Stone) "Painting"?

Hi,

Have anyone heard of Rhodonite (Rose Stone) "Painting"? I came
accross an article in Taipei Times and

it sounds pretty interesting. Here is the article...

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat...2/12/01/185540

And it mentioned that the Rhodonite in Taiwan is among the best,
better then Australia ones.

Basically they cut and slice up some huge Rhodonites, look through
them and find the best piece that

resemble Chinese landscape paintings and add a nice frame with some
Chinese characters to it.

Here are couple photos from the article above...

I am thinking about getting few of this through friends in Taiwan to
go along with my bonsai. You think it's a good buy? Any feedbacks
are welcome. Thank you. :-)
