History of Lingbi Garden viewing stones:

Lingbi stones are also called ‘resonant rocks’ (bayinshi). They are natural, fine grained, delicately textured limestone Formations coming from Lingbi County, Anhui province. They are found deep in the mud of the Qingshi mountains. These rare scholar rocks untouched by man, were sometimes used for making chimes and are thus also known as ‘chime rocks’. Lingbi rocks are beautiful and clear-cut, with a frame of soft lines.
They are now hard to find as harvesting them in China is now prohibited.
