Updated：2021-10-15 Source：Shennongjia National Park

The extension fractures or joints in dolomitic breccia, pebbled dolomitic sandstone, siliceous banded dolostone of Shicaohe Fm. are filled by magmatic hydrothermal fluid, forming comb- and teeth-shaped calcite and quartz veins, and with water scouring, these veins stand out and look like human body's veins, so these stones are called colloquially Jingluo (veins) Stone.
