According to tests on large quantities of “Tianhuang Stone" handicrafts collected and stored up by common people, the Tianhuang Stone can be classified into dickite type, pyrophyllite type, illite type and clinochlore type in the light of major mineral constituents. Radish striae, patterns and cortexes do not constitute the prerequisite for the identification of Tianhuang Stone. As the nomenclature of Shoushan Stone and Tianhuang Stone should be in line with the international criteria, the author suggests that the dual-naming method combining the mineral name and tradition name be adopted. Tianhuang Stone contains some other components besides dickite and/or nacrite, and hence further related geological investigation and test should be conducted in future.
