Exceptional examples possess good shape, texture and color, and have resonance when struck. Given these qualities, a viewer can admire the strength of outline, perhaps seeing a mountain ridge or a rising cloud within the amorphous mass, and delight in following the twisting, undulating surface texture with their eyes. Transplanted from its original location where it was hewn by nature over thousands of years, a rock sitting on a scholar's desk can represent a whole world in miniature and allow the viewer's imagination to run.Connoisseurs of scholar's rocks throughout the ages have boiled down their criteria for evaluating stones into twelve terms: thin, wrinkled, porous, permeable, clear, ugly, obtuse, clumsy, teal, powerful, beautiful, deep. Stones that have half of these features are considered rare and superior.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's London, 14 May 2019, lot 82Price: GBP 6,250 or approx.
