日光石 NIKKO Stone

This type of stone is called “Nikko Stone” because it was quarried along the Nikko Kaido, the road leading to Nikko Toshogu Shrine (where Tokugawa Ieyasu, deified as Toshogu Daigongen, is enshrined). The stone gained worldwide fame when the world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright extensively used it in the design and construction of the “Former Imperial Hotel” in Japan.
Mineralogically, it is a type of tuff; it is relatively soft and easy to work with, but its surface is rich in air pockets and pores, giving it a rugged and rustic beauty reminiscent of lava.

Its formation dates back to the early Cenozoic Era, approximately 23 million years ago. During volcanic eruptions at that time, volcanic ash and gravel sank into the ocean and underwent recrystallization, resulting in a composition that includes zeolite and other minerals, while absorbing a rich variety of elements from the seabed.
It is said to possess excellent water-purifying properties and to release various minerals. As a result, it has garnered significant attention in recent years as a natural stone that can improve soil quality, enhance water quality, and provide positive health benefits.

Symbolic Meaning: Success in the World (promotion and wealth / steady advancement), Financial Fortune, Strong Luck (a dramatic shift in fortune)
