Hi All,

These Stalactites came with the shop, apparently these came from south of China, I was told that they use small charges of dynamite to get these from the roof of caves, not a fun job. Some people are disgusted I have them, some people love them.
Personally I would never import or encourage anyone to do so, apart from the obvious environmental issues, they are too heavy and brittle...
Anyways I had a piece that looked interesting and placed it in this tray, not really sure if this could be classified as Suiseki but if makes for an interesting display piece around the bonsai area...

I think it would be worth getting a quality stand (simbian?) for both of these.

Sui-ban or Shui-pen

In China they eat tigers nuts and shoot people. So I am sure they will not worry too much about some million year old caves. Getting blown up.
Oh you mean the people here!!
