A strange stone accidentally discovered in the riverbed while visiting the canyon was originally called Haining Stone, but later it was renamed "Tianshan Green Stone" because it was produced in the northern foot of the western section of Tianshan Mountain, and its color was mainly cyan, like celadon in porcelain.
"Tianshan Blue" stone is very similar to the famous Guangxi fossil group, Tibetan porcelain stone, Laibin stone and ancient pottery stone, but it is more moist than Guangxi fossil group. The "Tianshan Blue" in Guangxi is dominated by warm colors such as red and yellow, while the "Tianshan Blue" is dominated by cold colors such as green, black and white contrast, cyan gray and milky white. The colors are patchy, and the picture is like rain, or like dew, or like thick ink painting, which is rare in other stone species. The green stone in Tianshan Mountain-Luohan Ruan took a picture of Tianshan Mountain-a portrait of a great man.
Mainly light blue green (duck egg green), black and white contrast, cyan gray, milky white and other cool colors, occasionally ginger.
Generally speaking, this kind of stone is well-layered, and its lines are mostly geometric linear, concave and convex, strewn at random, alternating in thickness, changeable in texture, smooth in lines, with many regular color layers, or circular or elliptical endogenous annular patterns like eyes, with deep color and high hardness. But both can appear at the same time. A stone has multiple viewing surfaces, such as landscapes, figures, animals and figures.
special character
If there are pores, it will "breathe", and it will be wet when it meets water or oil, and will become light, astringent and stagnant when it meets dry or high temperature environment.
Geological genesis
The formation of "Tianshan Blue" is very similar to that of jade: the original rock epidote of Devonian and Carboniferous collapsed in the river bed at the source, and after tens of thousands or even millions of years of snow and water freezing, it was washed and tempered by floods, forming a smooth, moist and soft surface. This kind of stone is hard, with a strong jade texture and the luster of celadon glaze. Because of its unique color, texture and morphological records, and because of its unique geographical conditions, it is generally considered to be a unique stone in Bortala, Xinjiang. Tianshan Kethleen has a long history in China. In the middle of Qing Dynasty, the precious jade materials donated by Xinjiang Dais, Xiaos and Zhuos were carved by the court jade craftsmen, which made the porcelain ornaments in Qianlong period popular. Become a royal exclusive jade material. Jade production in Kethleen in Qing Dynasty reached its peak during the reign of Qianlong Jiaqing. The famous Emperor Qianlong in history is a special jade lover. He invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in the production and collection of jade in Kethleen, and the collection is quite rich. At present, most of Kethleen jades collected by the Palace Museum are collected by Emperor Qianlong. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the Kethleen market in Tianshan Mountain was hot, and the supply of Kethleen in Tianshan Mountain was scarce. Not only domestic dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and civilians actively participated, but also attracted foreigners to Beijing to buy Tianshan ice jade, which reached the peak in the collection history of Kethleen in China. In recent years, the jade market has warmed up. As the main jade producing area in China, Xinjiang has many kinds of jade, including red, black, yellow and blue, and all kinds of colors. In addition to the familiar jade species, some rare jade species produced in the old jade producing areas are constantly being excavated and sought after by the market. A few years ago, when the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences conducted an investigation in Xinjiang, several new jade mines were identified through exploration. Then, in these Pian Yu mines, in the rivers around these jade mines, new jade mines and jade materials were excavated, or this jade mine was finally discovered after being buried for many years. This jade is a tribute jade that prevailed in Qianlong period: Kethleen in Tianshan Mountain.

The cryptomere-crystal of Tianchi Mountain in Bogda is quiet, reflecting the hazy snow peak like a silver mirror, shining in the sun and shining with silver, which is a masterpiece created by nature.
The breeze blew, breaking the calm of the lake, and another blurred world in the clear water swayed slightly with the ripples of blue waves.
In many beautiful legends, Tianchi not only has mysterious natural beauty, but also circulates various fairy tales. The most popular thing is that Tianchi is a fairyland where the Queen Mother of the West lives, where Zhou Muwang and the Queen Mother of the West meet and have a touching and euphemistic love story. Even more legendary, Tianchi was originally a silver mirror on the dressing table of the Queen Mother of the West, which accidentally fell into the world.
On the hillside on the northeast bank of Tianchi, there is the ancestral hall of the Western Queen Mother, which is also called "Niangniang Temple" because it is dedicated to the Queen Mother. Taoists all know that the location of temples is very particular about geomantic omen. The geographical location of the ancestral temple of the Western Queen Mother is very mysterious. It sits facing south, surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. Located halfway up Wolong Mountain, it occupies the aura of Tianchi Mountain and the essence of the sun and the moon. It is also a beautiful and magical scenery in the scenic spot.
Tianchi is backed by the towering Bogda Peak and faces the rich and prosperous Urumqi. The lake is blue, the alpine meadow is full of flowers and green grass. The combination of the beauty of nature and humanity, like a jade on the Tianshan Mountains, has won the admiration and love of the world.
A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds. Standing at the peak of Tianchi Lake, a "silver pyramid" that remains unchanged all year round will be displayed. Bogda Peak, which means "mountain god" in Mongolian, is the god in people's hearts. The sacredness and majesty of Bogda Peak has become a symbol of the persistence, tenacity, tolerance and understanding of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
Strolling around the lake, there are wild flowers and green trees everywhere, and several exquisite boats are docked on the shore, which makes people unable to resist the temptation of beautiful scenery.

On the hillside around Tianchi, there are many spruce forests, which are pagoda-shaped famous landscape trees. Tall and straight, neat and imposing. In summer, the temperature in Tianchi Lake is also very low. Traveling on the lake by yacht is cool and breezy, so you'd better bring more clothes.
