Monumental Taihu Scholar's Stone

Taihu stones are naturally occurring limestone rocks native to Lake Tai in Jiangsu Province, China. They are revered as scholars' rocks and meditation stones and are frequently used in Asian gardens to represent the mountains in a balanced landscape along with architecture, water, plants, trees, and flowers. Formed underwater, taihu stones develop intriguing textures owing to the uneven erosion of softer minerals deposited within the limestone. We enjoy them vertically and horizontally planted amidst garden foliage, adding a unique sculptural presence to any outdoor space.
