一个朋友说让我买一块田黄当章料，给她刻枚闲章。我的天，田黄！！知道她给我多少钱让我买田黄吗？500。看来，她是真不懂啊。福建的田黄几百年前早就绝产了。现存的田黄都是稀世珍品，要是真品，且不说品质好坏，市场价都得5位数。否则都是赝品。不过，至少她还知道田黄很值钱。我说巴林石还差不多，当然，是带胨的那种。于是300块钱买了一块带胨的巴林，还好，比较润。还算拿得出手。 就是这块。上面的水兽雕刻的还算精致。 现如今，到处都是祥云，就连这个水兽吐出的水花都是祥云样的。 这是边款，看到石头的细部了吗？比较润泽。 成品：观鱼。 语出：春暖观鱼跃，秋高听鹿鸣。 对了，这石料是从东方书店买的。地安门大街的东方书店，现在已经办到地安门邮局后面的小巷子里了。
