Stone hunting



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by koala48 20 yrs ago
A friend who is an avid stone collector, cutter and polisher is visiting HK. Back home he collects mostly agates and jasper. Does anyone know if similar stones can be found in HK or if there are any keen collectors' clubs? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks, Treno. My friend doesn't just buy stones, but finds them on pebbled beaches and on walking tracks. An ordinary looking pebble when cut and polished can look so very beautiful. We will visit the jade market, but I hope we can find some stones "in the wild", too.

As vividly recall, Nanjing rain-patterned stones are very beautiful. But I am in ShenZhen now, perhaps I can help your friend source when I have time.

Lots of gem shops in Shamshuipo, on Ki Lung St, but all polished already.
