YAMATO YOSHINO Unakite TM

Producing district: Nara Prefecture

Meaning: Healing, hope, progress 

Yamato can be said to be the birthplace of Japanese civilization. It is a stone from a mysterious land where many mysterious ancient tombs and stone ruins still remain. It is one of the Japan stones that shows various colors such as green, yellow-green, and black based on deep red. Along the median tectonic line, the main components are chlorite, which is the same series as solomonite in Tokushima Prefecture, and a faint yellow-green epidote. However, the big difference is that it contains a lot of volcanic iron, which oxidizes over time and develops a bright red color. They have been admired as bonseki stones and garden stones since ancient times, and those around the Yoshino River are particularly prized for their beauty.
