邯郸上水石,又名水松石。它是由碳酸钙组成的一种生物礁。因造礁生物是“水松”水草,故有“水松石”之称。石质土黄色,骨架状,孔隙度达30%。放置水盆,片刻之后,水湿石顶,吸水欲滴,成为优质的上水石。邯郸上水石的采掘时间,现已无法考证。清人姚元之所说的“草结为石”的上水石,有可能指此。当地老乡讲,解放前已有采掘;中美建交后,有位旅美华人,寄书家乡,建议采石,进一步引起外贸部门的重视。广交会上展出时,名声大振,艺术品已远销欧美。照片是水松石化后的茎和轮生的叶子。茎粗0.5到0.8毫米左右。由于茎部中空,起毛细管作用,故增加了上水的性能,成为上水石优质品。 Handan Shenshui Stone, also known as turquoise.
