Where do the Stones come from? Suiseki Stones are legally collected from a variety of streams and rivers across the world. Different rivers tend to create their own unique stone style due to the ecology of the river and the way in which the water develops the stones over time.
The process of stone formation is called nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis. Nephrolithiasis is derived from the Greek nephros- (kidney) lithos (stone) = kidney stone Urolithiasis stems from the Latin urina and the Greek ouron meaning urine = urine stone. The stones themselves are called renal caluli.
