About Tai Hu Infinity Rocks:

Found mostly in the vast drainage areas of Tai Lake, these limestone rocks are hard , with slight variations among those taken from Lake beds. They are fresh looking with soft color and their multiple, linked perforations produced from years of wave and water erosion make them aesthetically pleasing. Often referred to as -infinity stones- with their pale gray to ivory, or red tint, Taihu rocks are usually large and are regarded as the best garden rocks. Artificial hills made of Taihu rocks give the appearance of strange peaks looming up or chains of hills connected by streams and bridges, with successive peaks along narrow, twisted paths. Small Taihu rocks of good quality are rare and meant for indoor appreciation. The beauty of Taihu rocks comes from their natural perforations, wrinkles, and hollows which enhance their open appearance. They are cut and shaped from large Formations and are superb decor inside or out of doors.
