What kinds of natural stones are there in China?

There are many kinds of natural strange stones in China, among which there are 1 16 kinds in the Book of Yunlin Stone in Song Dynasty. So far, thousands of species have been found in China. Since the topic requires everyone to say a species, I will talk about the yellow wax stone that exists almost everywhere. The discovery of chrysolite has a long history. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this kind of stone was collected in eastern Guangdong and Chaoshan areas, but the yellow wax stone was really discovered and utilized at the beginning of this century. At that time, merchants from Taiwan Province Province of China and Hongkong discovered the yellow wax stone in Longling and Tengchong, which was later named Huang Longyu. Huang Longyu, because it can carve and admire, soon became popular in the north and south of the country, and the price changed from selling by car to selling by block. Affected by this, stone merchants all over the country began to look for this yellow stone, which was found in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Hunan, Sichuan, Hainan, Northeast China and other provinces, but the quality was quite different. Yunnan, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other provinces are the best, which can be carved and rewarded, while other provinces are mostly used for viewing. Since the discovery of a large number of chrysolite, it has caused many controversies because of its good hardness, high transparency and rich color. In some places, it is listed in the jade list, but it is questioned by jade experts that its main component is quartz stone, which is a variety of quartz stone.

Although there are many controversies and questions, the yellow wax stone has attracted the attention of the Tibetan stone community for its unique carving and appreciation charm. Around 2008, there was an upsurge of picking up yellow wax stones, and the news that yellow wax stones were found somewhere was constantly seen in the media. The river beach has become a good place for office workers on weekends, in order to find the yellow wax stone. It was not a lie at that time that a high-quality yellow wax stone could sell for ten thousand yuan.

There are many kinds of yellow wax stones, such as fine wax, frozen wax, rubber wax and ice wax, which are all excellent carving materials, and the best ones are crow skin and litchi jelly. Any stone can be carved, and the most brilliant thing about yellow wax stone is its natural ornamental value. Its various forms, like animals like people, such as Jinshan Yinshan, are everywhere. The Huaying among the four strange stones in China comes from the yellow wax stone. Yellow wax stone is rich in color, including yellow wax, red wax, floating red wax and green wax. And even mixed wax of several colors. The decorative patterns of yellow wax stone are rich and varied, such as knife cuts, grass patterns, ice cracks, Ge kiln patterns, water grass patterns, gold prints and so on.

In recent years, the collection fever of yellow wax stones has cooled down due to many factors such as the market, but high-quality yellow wax stones have always occupied a place in the market, especially carving crafts, which are deeply loved by the public.
