The largest producing area of Nanjing Yuhuashi is Liuhe in Jiangbei.
Nanjing Yuhuatai is famous all over the world. Most people think that the yuhua stone is produced in Yuhuatai, but it is not true.
There is little chance that individuals can pick up the rain flower stones, because the rain flower stones are buried underground and need to be mined to collect them. It's not like a dollar dropped on the ground can be found. The stock of rain flower stones in geology and mineral resources is already very limited, and the crazy unprotected mining in recent ten years has led to less and less rain flower stones. In the past, when we were young, we could find a lot of rain flower stones by looking around at the foot of the mountain. Now it is almost impossible. So now the rain flower stones are more and more expensive, and things are rare.
Yuhuatai used to produce a small amount of rain flower stones; However, the main producing area of Yuhuashi is actually mainly in the area adjacent to Liuhe and Yizheng (originally belonging to Liuhe area, now under Yangzhou) in Jiangbei, Nanjing, and its quality is especially good in Liuhe's crossbeam, Donggou and Babai. Nanjing Yuhuashi Village is the first place to embody the main production and processing areas of Nanjing Yuhuashi in the form of administrative village.
Nanjing, due to its unique historical origin and rich stone culture, is still the largest and most important rain flower stone distribution center and activity center in China and even in the world. The well-known rain flower stone exchange centers are: Qingliangshan Stone Market, Yuhuatai Rain Flower Stone Museum, Confucius Temple Cultural Market and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Cultural Market.
As the hometown of rain flower stones, there are more and more people in Nanjing who love and collect rain flower stones. Naturally formed rain flower stones are different from artificial handicrafts. Due to the limited resources and its natural charm, their collection potential and investment value are also rapidly increasing. May the "Queen of the Stone" rain flower stones become more and more colorful.
