Rare ✨ [Shinobu Stone/Dendrite] Raw Stone, Germany, shi4 Thank you for viewing!・゜✧ This is the [Shinobu Stone/Dendrite], a stone that encapsulates a tree that never withers ✨ 'Features' It is characterized by a unique pattern that looks like it contains plants. "Shinobu" is a fern that has been familiar as a houseplant in Japan since ancient times. The true identity of Shinobu Stone is manganese dioxide mineral that has formed in the gaps of rocks. Rainwater and groundwater seep into the cracks of the rocks, and manganese deposits, creating these patterns. Therefore, Shinobu Stone can only be seen on the surface of the cracks, and is never seen on fresh fracture surfaces. It came to be called "Shinobu Stone" because of its fern-like patterns. In ancient times, the first people who saw it believed it was "a stone that sealed a tree that never withers." In the book "Unkonshi" by the Edo period stone collector Sekitei Kinai, it appears as "Shinobugusa Stone." Those with beautiful, plant-like patterns are extremely rare.
