Shin Maguro Bonsan Seki (Jet Black Stone)

This uncut stone was collected from our southern coast, in the Salinas township. This beach is known for famous natural suiseki and has been a hunting ground for top quality stones. The likes of Sean Smith and Mr. William Valavanis have been regular visitors, managing to collect top quality examples. Below, the comments fron Mr. Seiji Morimae:

Name: Shin Maguro Bonsan Seki (Jet Black Stone)

"To my friend Omar from Puerto Rico, who has asked me to view this stone. The pure black of this stone is of the same quality as the best stones of the Kamo River in Japan. It is a wonderful stone, with deep valleys and a presence of nature.

Seeing such a good stone from Puerto Rico has made me realize that there is a great number of wonderful stones in the world..."

Today I spent the day at Omar's house. In my opinion, he has the finest suiseki collection in the island. Also, he is the most knowledgeable individual in Puerto Rico on the subject. Great stones!!! Show us some more!!!

Thanks JRodriguez for your support!

Omar,

Thanks for the additional pictures. I particularly like the black hut stone. Once you carve a suitable daiza, the image will be even more evident.

Can you post a picture of your other pool stone?

Kind regards,

Jose Luis

I hope you like these suiseki.

Omar,

Thanks for posting the pool stone. It is another fine example of the diversity of shapes and forms found on Puerto Rico. Also, the pitch black color these have, make them particularly valuable.

Post more.

Ogie,

Kind regards,

Jose Luis
