Hard stones commonly used in landscape bonsai. Below let us look at what types of hard stones are commonly used in landscape bonsai. When it comes to hard stones, the most common ones should be ax-cut stone, stalactite, wood fossil and other stone materials.

Hard stones:Most are suitable for making bonsai, and they are mainly composed of calcium carbonate and other components. Such as Ying stone, stalactite, Lingbi stone, ax-cut stone, etc. This type of rock is also easy to identify; for example, if hydrochloric acid is dripped onto the rock, large bubbles will appear on the surface. Under natural conditions, when it encounters acidic water, over time karst phenomena will occur, forming various beautiful colors and diverse textures as well as oddly shaped grooves, vortex caves and all kinds of stalagmites. For example, the Guilin caves are famous at home and abroad and were formed by karst; the commonly used hard stones include the following types.

Ying stone:Also called Yingde stone. The color of Ying stone is generally gray, with differences in shade, and black mixed with white textures. Ying stone's textures are naturally varied; it can be used as a solitary peak, and can also express high mountains and steep ridges, etc. It is produced in Yingde, Guangdong.

Ax-cut stone, also called sword stone. As the name suggests, ax-cut stone, this type of rock, can be split open with an axe. Ax-cut stone has many color types, including dark gray, light gray, black and earthy yellow. Ax-cut stone mostly has thread-like or sheet-like textures. When struck, it can split lengthwise along its textures. Using this stone to express cliffs and precipices or peaks piercing the clouds is excellent. Ax-cut stone is mostly produced in Wujin, Jiangsu.

Stalactite:Stalactite is a relatively typical limestone. Stalactite is formed through long-term natural karst processes, and its forms vary greatly. Stalactite is a natural bonsai material. Stalactite is mostly produced in the rock caves of Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places.

Wood fossil:Wood fossil is ancient wood; wood fossil was formed through petrification over long geological eras. That is, the fossil of wood. Fossil
