The rock was found in Germany
The tree was found in Italy and this bonsai is made from that tree. (We have to udnerstand that many people look at this who have no clue that we collect ols trees from the mountians and make bonsai out of them. They have to be told that this is what we do.)
You are the first one in fifteen years to have a problem with this. Well, I might give it some thought.
I keep reading it and it still says "Genuine stone found in Germany by Gunther Mainz from a tree which was collected in 1997 in Italy."
I know you have a lot of collected trees and that genuine rocks don't just fall from the sky, I just thought it would be super awesome if Gunther found a rock, in Germany, inside an Italian tree. I mean, I've collected small volcanic rocks from old Italian olive trees. It would be one hell of a story to grab a rock of this size from a tree.
No problems, just a wild imagination on my side. ;-)
