Kamennyj tsvetok) is a folk tale of the Ural region of Russia collected and reworked by Pavel Bazhov.

The story was translated from Russian into English by Alan Moray Williams in 1944, and several times after that.Pavel Bazhov indicated that all his stories can be divided into two groups based on tone: “child-toned” (e.g. “Silver Hoof”) with simple plots, children as the main characters, and a happy ending, and “adult-toned”. He called “The Stone Flower” the “adult-toned” story. -- source link
