鸡血石是辰砂条带的地开石，因为它的颜色像鸡血一样鲜红，所以人们俗称为鸡血石。 我国最早在浙江昌化玉岩山发现鸡血石。
美丽的传说
传说，天庭中一对美丽的凤凰听到人间的哀怨之声，此刻凡间蝗虫成灾、作物不长、百姓愁苦。善良的凤凰决定到人间去消灭蝗害、驱散瘟疫、拯救生灵。在 凤凰的帮助下百姓又过上了幸福的日子，而凤凰也留在当地恩泽一方百姓。可惜山中来了一对强横的鸟狮，它们对凤凰产生了忌妒之心。一天，它们趁雌凰进入孵育 期、雄凤外出觅食之际偷袭凤巢，雌凰被鸟狮啄断了一条腿，鲜红凤血流入当地的岩石中，最后凤凰击败了鸟狮，但凤凰蛋却已经被践踏得支离破碎，凤凰也悲鸣着 腾空而去。凤凰虽然走了，但是凤血浸染的岩石却变成了一块块的鸡血石，继续保佑着当地的老百姓。
鸡血石的品种
昌化鸡血石分为冻地、软地、刚地和硬地四大类。
■冻地鸡血石：主要成分是辰砂与地开石、高岭石组成的天然集合体，包括玻璃冻、羊脂冻、牛角冻、桃花冻等，微透明或半透明，通常硬度在2级左右。
■软地鸡血石：主要成分是辰砂与地开石、高岭石，有一定蜡状光泽，不透明或部分微透明，硬度在2-3级之间的鸡血石。
■刚地鸡血石：是高岭石、明矾石岩经后期硅化的产物，硬度在3-4级之间。
■硬地鸡血石：是成矿过程中硅化作用的产物，地质学名为辰砂硅化凝灰岩或含辰砂硅质岩，主要成份是SiO2(二氧化硅)，其硬度大于3级。
昌化鸡血石的品质是血和地，血色为鲜红、深红、正红、紫红等，鸡血的形状有块红、条红、星红、霞红等，并能达到鲜、凝、厚为佳，深沉有厚度，深透石中，有集结或鸡血斑布均衡为佳。除此之外，昌化鸡血石石质中，还具有“细、结、润、腻、温、凝”之六德。
鉴别真假鸡血石
鉴别一块鸡血石可用鸡血、质地、重量三种方式。首先要看鸡血，一般假鸡血是没有银斑的，而且色度深浅不匀，线条有粗有细，花纹呆板不自然。其次要看 质地，假鸡血石是用塑胶化合物制造的，用手摸起来没有石感，刀刻后不会有石屑，用火烧假鸡血石会有烧焦的胶臭味，真鸡血石则不会。有人甚至将鸡血石切片粘 贴于粗石上，再用填缝胶及石粉粘合，状极似真鸡血石，仔细在强光下则可辨别真伪，或观察血色及画形是否一致或有无连贯，不难识破。再则，有人用石粉加化合 物，塑模涂上“朱砂”或大红水彩假造鸡血而成。最后要称重量，真鸡血石的重量较沉稳，假鸡血石的重量较轻浮。
鸡血石与名人
民间传说鸡血石会带来鸿运当头，百姓藏之可兴家避邪，帝王藏之可镇国安邦。自古昌化鸡血石一直都是文人雅士、达官贵人、帝王将相的珍藏品。在清朝， 乾隆皇帝有一方刻着“乾隆至宝”的鸡血石印章，慈禧太后以及其他皇妃们也喜欢把鸡血石作为宝玺。在当代，毛泽东主席珍藏两方大号昌化鸡血石印章；周恩来总 理将昌化鸡血石方章以国礼馈赠给日本前首相田中角荣；美国总统访华时，中国选用了刻有“罗纳德里根”的昌化鸡血石印章馈赠给他。现如今，鸡血石经常以国家 级礼品交流文化，传播友谊，成为中华民族灿烂文化的重要部分，为世界的物质和精神财富添上一抹鲜红的色泽。
Legends of Bloodstone
Legend, a pair of beautiful heaven in Phoenix to hear the voice of the world's sad moment mortal locust disaster, crops do not grow, people sorrow. Phoenix decided to go to the good earth to destroy the locusts, disperse plague, save lives. Phoenix and help people live a happy life, but also to stay in the local Phoenix Enze people side. Unfortunately, the mountain to a pair of birds tyrannical lion, Phoenix had their jealous heart. One day, while they enter the female phoenix incubation period, the international male phoenix foraging attack phoenix nest, the female lion phoenix was a bird pecking a broken leg, red phoenix blood flow into the local rock, and finally defeated the Phoenix bird lion, but Phoenix egg has been trampled to pieces, Phoenix also lament the fly away. Although Phoenix gone, but the blood-stained rock phoenix has become a piece of soapstone block, continue to bless the local people.
Soapstone varieties
Bloodstone into frozen ground, soft ground, to just four categories and hard.
■ frozen ground soapstone: the main component of cinnabar and dickite, kaolinite natural aggregates, including glass frozen, freeze suet, horns frozen, frozen peach, slightly transparent or translucent, usually about two hardness .
■ soapstone soft ground: The main ingredient is cinnabar and dickite, kaolinite, a certain waxy luster, opaque or slightly transparent part, soapstone hardness between 2-3 level.
■ Just to Bloodstone: the product of kaolinite, alum Shiyan by late silicification, hardness between 3-4.
■ Hard Bloodstone: mineralization is a product of the process of silicification, silicified tuff geology called cinnabar or cinnabar containing chert, the main ingredient is SiO2 (silica), its hardness greater than three.
Bloodstone quality of blood and ground, blood is bright red, dark red, are red, purple, etc., the shape of a block of red chicken, red stripe, red star, red Xia, and to achieve fresh, condensate, thick Jia, thickness deep, deep penetration rock, there are assembled or chicken blood stain cloth is better balanced. In addition, Bloodstone stone, and also has a "fine, knot, run, tired, warm, pour" of the six German.
Identification of true and false Bloodstone
Identification of a soapstone available chicken, texture, weight three ways. First look at the chicken, chicken is not generally leave the silver spot, and uneven color depth, Rough is fine lines, patterns or stilted. Second look texture, soapstone is fake plastic compounds manufactured stone hand feels no sense, there will be no stone chips after Daoke with fake fire soapstone have burnt rubber smell, heliotrope is not true. Some have even soapstone sections pasted on the rough stone, and then the sealant and adhesive powder, mimicking really like heliotrope, bright light can be carefully verify the authenticity, or observe color and shape are the same painting or whether the coherent, It is not difficult to see through. Furthermore, it was with powder plus compound, molded painted "cinnabar" fake chicken or red watercolor made. Finally, weighed, the weight of more sedate really Bloodstone, Bloodstone lighter weight fake float.
Bloodstone celebrity
Folklore Bloodstone will bring good fortune, and the people of Tibet can house also evil, imperial possession of the country and bringing peace to the town. Since ancient times, Bloodstone has been literati, VIPs, emperors treasures. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong had one inscribed "Qianlong treasure" of soapstone seal, the Empress Dowager Cixi and other Princess also like to soapstone as Bao Xi. In modern times, both large collection of Chairman Mao Zedong Bloodstone seal; Premier Zhou Enlai Bloodstone party chapter national gift gifts to former Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka; the US President's visit to China, China chose the inscription "Ronald Reagan "the Bloodstone stamp gift to him. Now, heliotrope often national-level cultural exchange gifts, spread friendship, become an important part of the Chinese nation splendid culture, the world of material and spiritual wealth added touch of bright red color.
