From the rocks which look like fruits, Tue and his wife have created artworks that look much like cassaba melon, papaya, mango and other fruits.

Along with other rare and beautiful rocks, the rock fruit collection has been displayed at many places and is now a popular product for home decoration in Duy Xuyen District, Quang Nam Province on the central coast, especially during Tet (Lunar New Year) days.

They now have a collection of around 300 rock artworks.
