A few Iimori Stone / Victoria Stone cabs. Victoria Stone, or Iimori Stone, is a man-made mineral. The man who invented the process and manufactured the stone, Dr. Iimori, died many years ago. His family continued to manufacture the stone for several years after his death. Although the process to make the stone is known (and patented) it is very expensive to manufacture. Dr. Iimori's family decided to stop making it after his death.

Whoa! Those are sweet! Not sure which I like best the black or sky blue. The sky blue really lights up!

They're wonderful! I'm with Tela, I can't decide which one I like better -- the black or the sky blue.

#1 Those look terrific
#2 What a fascinating creation. Have been browsing around the web reading about how he fused his special recipe of existing minerals to come up with something new.
Thanks for the show and stimulation, Al

I acquired a thin slice almost the size of the palm of my hand from a rock shop liquidation. It's an exquisite deep green. One of these days I'll figure out what to do with it. Beautiful stuff for sure.
