| Why is it called a viewing stone? It doesn't look very big. 500 lbs!! That's heavy. Kt |

| The Japanese and Chinese people donated or lent these viewing stones. They are highly revered and extremely scarce.They are suppose to evoke an image/scenery/landscape/or view. I couldn't believe how heavy these are. I figured maybe 100 lbs or so.I don't know what they are made of but it sure is heavy. These were naturally formed over thousands of years. |

| Could these stones be molten fragments from an asteroid strike? If these are solidifed metal, that could explain the weight. |

| When I was a kid, I found a rock that is very heavy. I never figured out its composition. It appears to be solid metal of some kind. Maybe it's radioactive and I've been dragging it with me ever since. That would explain a few things I guess. |

| Looks a lot like jasper rock to me based upon color, smooth texture, and veins. Jasper is very dense - heavy. Rgds |
