Shoushan stone carvings

Shoushan () stone carving is an art originating in Fujian Province () in East China.

The stones used in carving are also known as agalmatolite and are mined in the Shoushan village in northern Fujian. This stone is often semi-translucent and can feature vibrant colours. Use of the stone for carving can be traced back as far as the Southern dynasties and have long been used to produce handicrafts and later on in the Ming dynasty, seals.
