The first type of rock I picked up was a type that looked as much like the Turtle Stone that Zhao uses in his masterpieces. The Turtle Stone is forbidden for export and there is not much luck in me obtaining the real thing, so this might have to do.

In the place where I collected, the stone was plentiful but finding the pieces with the right texture were more rare. I managed ti half fill a five gallon bucket with the stuff. I think if this is the way I go it will be enough getting two or more slices from each stone to glue to the marble. The rest of the pics are some close ups that washed out in the flash.
