Bamboo leaf stone is a kind of playing stone with bamboo leaf pattern. But this kind of playing stone is not a fossil of ancient plants, but a kind of rock with limestone as the main component, which is produced in high mountains and mountains. Bamboo leaf stone is a kind of argillaceous limestone bonded by bamboo leaf gravel and calcium-containing colloid.
Generally thin-layer production. On the surface, it is mainly composed of round and oval flat gravel. On the vertical plane, the shape of gravel resembles bamboo leaves, so it is called bamboo leaf stone, and its scientific name is bamboo leaf limestone. Zhuyeshi deposits are distributed in Cambrian and Ordovician strata in North China, with Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan and Xuzhou, Jiangsu being relatively concentrated.
Bamboo leaves and stones are scattered on the hillside, with different sizes, independent blocks, easy to find and generally complete appearance. After washing with light hydrochloric acid, ideal decorative effect can be obtained.
Bamboo leaves have different shapes and varieties, among which bamboo leaves protrude from the stone surface, and the boundaries between bamboo leaves and the basement are clear and evenly distributed. Bamboo leaf stone, produced in the bluestone mountain area in the south of Linqu, has a bright color and delicate stone texture, which is of high ornamental value.
