25030 - Abegawa Fuji Suiseki - 4½ in (12cm)

Perhaps your first suiseki? This Abegawa stone comes from the Abe river in Shizuoka prefecture, Japan and would be classified as a mountain stone, or more specifically a Mt. Fuji stone as it bears some resemblance to the famous mountain.

Perhaps it's most useful feature is it's diminuitive size, perfectly suitable for a mame display. The bottom is cut, and whilst this is generally considered less attractive than a natural stone, it does make it easy to pair with a shallow suiban, such as those shown in the pictures.

The daiza has been handmade from wood for this stone, it is a relatively simple one but pairs well with it.
