Characteristics of Ai Ye Green

The texture is bright and clean, glossy, and the ancients described its color as old mugwort leaves, with a yellowish taste in the green, and its lighter green is also known as mugwort green.

Because Liang Kejia referred to the "five flowers stone pit" no specific location, after the Shoushan stone or a variety of written records of the stone spectrum also has no "five flowers stone pit" description, the modern Shoushan stone mining area more than the name of the pit, so ancient Ai Ye green stone in the end produced in where there is no way to find out. Now research Shoushan stone experts have different views on the origin of ai leaf green stone, some people think that produced in the month tail mine cave, some people think that produced in the yellow nest vein. Ai leaf green stone produced in the tail of the month cave, Liang Kejia's "five flowers pit" understanding is a general reference to the colorful Shoushan stone pits, does not refer to a specific mine; and the understanding of the "ten miles apart" refers to the scope of the Shoushan stone mining area. And that Shoushan stone in the moon tail stone of the green most characteristic, still colored like ai leaves.
