Taoyuan Stone Carvings

　　Peach Blossom Stone is mined in the northern mountainous region of Taoyuan County, Hunan Province. It is abundant in reserves, featuring hard stone quality, beautiful veining, vibrant colors, and a glossy shine. Resembling both gemstones and marble, it is well-suited for crafting a variety of carved handicrafts. It comes in eight colors, including Lotus Green, Peach Blossom Red, Water Wave Blue, and Grape Purple. Workers select the objects they carve based on the stone’s veining and colors, crafting over a hundred types of antiqued-style artworks such as Tang Dynasty camels and horses, seals, incense burners, inkstones, brush pots, vases, and more. The finished pieces are dazzling and lifelike.
