Calico (Wucai) Lingbi Stone

February 6th, 2008

Calico (Wucai) Lingbi stones are taken from Duguhui Mountain in Lingbi County. They display brown as a basic color, alternating with red, white, black, crimson, or other colors (wucai means literally “five colors”), although some stones feature only a single one of these several colors. These stones have fewer holes and can take more unusual shapes compared with ordinary Lingbi stones. Lingbi and its surrounding abound in grotesque stones. Apart from the above mentioned varieties, there are also Lingbi sedimentary stone shale and Hongwanluo stones.
