Il Volo, Palombino Stone

Luciana Queirolo Collection | Italy

This month’s Stone of the Month is an Italian stone from Luciana Queirolo’s collection. Luciana, a pioneer of viewing stone appreciation in Italy, exhibited her first stones in 1988 and was a founding member and president of Unici di Liguria, the first suiseki club in Italy and in Europe, founded in 1991. Liguria, Italy, is the region where the now famous Palombino stones are found. They are valued for their luster, color, patina, and evocative shapes, many expressing the mountainous Italian landscape and coastline.

som 09 17 greenmadonna

The Green Madonna.

23.5 cm high x 8.5 cm wide x 4 cm deep

Lindsay Bebb collection.

This stone was collected by me in the Border Ranges area between Queensland and New South Wales. The creeks in this area have some stones that are suiseki quality. These stones are believed to have come from the Tweed Volcano which formed when the Australian plate moved over a “hot spot” in the earth’s mantle. Many of the extinct volcanos in Eastern Australia are believed to have been formed by this hot spot.

This stone type has not been positively identified yet, but as you can see it is different shades of green.

The daiza was carved by me from a piece of mallee root. Mallee root is old, dried, dwarf eucalyptus tree root from semi-arid regions of Australia. It is very hard wood that has a beautiful marbled grain.
