Origin
Chrysanthemum stone was formed many millions of years ago when a deposition of
a thick strata of mud that was rich in organic materials occurred at the bottom of a
sea. Calcium Carbonate (Calcite) and abundant Strontium Sulphate (Celestite)
precipitated in the ooze at the bottom. As the layers were compressed, these
sediments were buried by continuous deposition of more mud. At these lower
depths it allowed the spectacular radial growth of celestite formations that remain
as the flower patterns in the solidified limestone.
