Where do the Stones come from? Suiseki Stones are legally collected from a variety of streams and rivers across the world. Different rivers tend to create their own unique stone style due to the ecology of the river and the way in which the water develops the stones over time.
The stone's name derives (via Latin: molochÄ«tis, Middle French: melochite, and Middle English melochites) from Greek Î¼Î¿Î»Î¿ÏÎ¯ÏÎ·Ï Î»Î¯Î¸Î¿Ï molochitis lithos, mallow-green stone, from Î¼Î¿Î»ÏÏÎ· molÅchÄ, variant of Î¼Î±Î»Î¬ÏÎ· malÄchÄ, mallow. The mineral was given this name due to its resemblance to the leaves of the Mallow plant.
