The flag stone is not a famous stone, but because of its famous carving and seal cutting, the price is naturally unusual, and the auction price is 60 thousand yuan. Diaojianshan vein in the eastern ore series is the most famous "Diaojianshi", also known as "Dougeng". It is produced in Diaojiangeng, about four or five kilometers northeast of Gao Shanfeng. Stone is hard, slightly transparent or translucent, with a shiny surface and usually black. Hanging stones are very similar to "horn jelly"

Dashanshi is produced in Dashankeng near Qijiangshan, which is a kind of Shoushan stone and a mineral deposit mined in the open air. Large output, coarse stone and large sand content are mostly used as refractories. Large rocks are red, purple, blue, yellow, white, green and other colors, with yellow-green and light green as common. The yellow-green part is crystalline frozen stone, which is slightly hard, and the white part is mostly reticulated cotton sand, which is slightly brittle. Some big stones have yellow-green sandstone or dark rust checkered stone skin. The big green and yellow rocks have many crystals similar to leopard spots. Among them, the pure and clean psychic stone is called "Dashantong" stone; Frozen crystal is called "Dashan crystal" stone, but it is relatively rare. A few yellow frozen stones are pure and psychic, which is quite valuable.

It belongs to Shoushan Stone, one of the traditional "Four Yin Zhangshi" in China. It is distributed in the "Golden Triangle" zone at the junction of Jinan District, Lianjiang County and Luoyuan County in the northern suburb of Fuzhou. If the vein strikes, it can be divided into three systems: Gaoshan, Qishan and Yueyang. Because Shoushan mining area was mined earlier, the old saying "Tiankeng, Shuikeng and Shankeng" refers to the ore mined in the bottom of the field, water flow and karst caves in this mining area. After 1500 years of excavation, there are hundreds of varieties of Shoushan stone. The puddle originates from the pithead vein in the south of Qianshan Township. Because the ore body is rich in groundwater, the ore is corroded by it and is mostly transparent and shiny. Many stones in the puddle come from this. The types of puddle stones are mainly distinguished by the color and shape of each ore:

Crystal jelly

Fish brain jelly, also known as white crystal and crystal jade, is produced in potholes and crystal caves.

Yellow freezing

Eel fairy grass, also known as eel ridge jelly and fairy fairy fairy grass, is produced in potholes and crystal caves, with yellow ash as the best.

Comparison with the origin characteristics of Qingtian stone (based on "Oriental experience")

Main minerals: The main mineral of Qingtian stone is pyrophyllite, accounting for more than 70% of the total variety of Qingtian stone, while the main mineral of Shoushan stone is dickite (kaolinite mineral).

Secondary minerals: olivine, andalusite, corundum, especially near-gem-grade single crystal blue corundum are the characteristic secondary minerals of Qingtian stone. Pyrophyllite in Qingtian stone rarely coexists with diaspore, while pyrophyllite in Shoushan stone often coexists with a large number of secondary minerals of diaspore.

New varieties: sericite-type new varieties were found in Qingtian stone and Shoushan stone.

Mineral Composition of Precious Varieties: The mineral composition of the precious variety Tian Huangshi in Shoushan Stone is perlite and dickite, while the mineral composition of the precious variety Deng Guang Frozen in Qingtian Stone is pyrophyllite.

Structural order: The internal structural order of Qingtian stone is generally higher than that of Shoushan stone.

Transparency: Qingtian stone is generally not as transparent as Shoushan stone. Qingtian stone is mainly pyrophyllite, with complex mineral composition, rich secondary minerals, loose structure and high iron content. Shoushan stone is mainly dikaishi. Generally speaking, the transparency of pyrophyllite type Yin Zhangshi is lower than that of dickite type Yin Zhangshi.

Classification: Qingtian stone can be divided into pyrophyllite, dickite, illite and sericite. Shoushan stone is divided into tiankeng, shankeng, puddle, primary ore and secondary ore.

The difference of genetic characteristics between Qingtian stone and Shoushan stone is related to the difference of parent rock, metallogenic environment and alteration.
