One of four, collected by older grandfather who had massive mineral collection. Resided in California, yet traveled cross country, often visiting mineral shows. Passed away decades ago, grand daughter just recently decided to sell off some items.
Unfortunately aforementioned is all the information can offer. Had gathered the description from research online and how other eBay sellers listed simular items.
Landscape rocks, known as suseok in Korean, have a deep history in East Asia. The practice of collecting these attractively shaped stones dates back thousands of years, but they became a fixture of Korean society during the Joseun dynasty (1392-1897), when they were commonly displayed on the writing tables of Confucian scholars — hence their other popular English name: "scholars rocks." Some ancient scholars rocks, or those made from rarer minerals, can fetch astounding sums at Korean auctions.
