The color and texture are good, and it is a good piece of soapstone. It is probably not easy to sell here. I suggest you try it at the local stone market. As long as you don’t want to sell it for a sky-high price, many people will buy it.

Soapstone, according to the place of origin, can be divided into three categories: Changhua chicken blood stone, Bahrain chicken blood stone and other places of origin. Soapstone contains cinnabar, (cinnabar), quartz, calcite, stibnite, dikaiite, kaolinite, dolomite and other minerals, and most of them contain sulfides and silicate minerals with various components such as mercury sulfide. Different origins have different texture and composition. Soapstone has no fixed shape and is called stone-like. Its colors include lump blood, striped blood, plum blossom blood, and floating cloud blood.

Soapstone is composed of two parts: "earth" and "blood". It is generally believed that the mineral component of "blood" is mainly cinnabar. "Earth" components, such as Changhua chicken blood stone, its "earth" mineral composition is mainly dikaiite among clay minerals, and also contains a considerable amount of kaolinite, alunite, halloysite, quartz, and pyrite wait. In the early days, ancient literati and bureaucrats used soapstone to make seals, and it was a very famous seal material. Bahrain bloodstone is mainly made of kaolinite and diaspore; while the main mineral components of its finer textured black frozen chickenbloodstone and hibiscus frozen chickenbloodstone are dikaiite and cinnabar; in the past few years, a similar "golden roof" was found on the top of a gold mine in Jilin "Red" vein quartz dense block, in which cinnabar is very small, hard and delicate in texture, it is also a hard ground stone containing cinnabar, locally called cinnabar jade.
