Miriam Stone, also known as Calligraphy Stone, Elephant Skin Jasper, and Arabic Stone, is a unique mineral composed of fossilized shells, bones, and vegetation from an ancient swamp. This complex stone is a result of the Himalayan Mountains shifting and forming the landscape we see today. During this time, the entire area was put under extreme pressure, with conditions ripe enough to fossilize and condense anything surrounding this newly formed mountain chain.
