（《纲目》）
【修治】时珍曰∶用砒石二两，木鳖子仁、巴豆仁各半两， 砂二钱。为末，用木鳖子
油、石脑油和成一块，油裹，埋土坑内，四十九日取出，劈作小块，瓷器收用。
【气味】辛、酸，热，有毒。独孤滔曰∶土黄制雄黄。
【主治】枯瘤赘痔乳，食 并诸疮恶肉（时珍）。
（宋《嘉 》。附银星石）
【集解】颂曰∶金星石、银星石，并出濠州、并州，采无时。二石主疗大体相似。
宗曰∶二石治大风疾，别有法，须烧用之。金星石生于苍石内，外有金色麸片，银星石有
银色麸片。又一种深青色坚润，中有金色如麸片者，不入药用，工人碾为器，或妇人首饰用。
时珍曰∶金星有数种。苏颂所说二石，武当山亦有之。或云金星出胶东，银星出雁门，
盖亦礞石之类也。寇宗 所说二石治大风者，今考《圣惠方》大风门，皆作金星 、银星
石，则似是 石之类。《丹房镜源》 石篇中，亦载二石名，似与苏说者不同。且金星、银
星无毒，主热涎血病； 石则有毒，主风癞疾。观此，则金星、银星入药，各有二种矣。又
歙州砚石，亦有金星、银星者。琼州亦出金星石，皆可作砚。翡翠石能屑金，亦名金星名。
此皆名同物异也。刘河间《宣明方》点眼药方中用金精石、银精石，不知即此金星、银星否
也？
【气味】甘，寒，无毒。
【主治】脾肺壅毒，及肺损吐血嗽血，下热涎，解众毒（嘉 ）。水磨少许服，镇心神
不宁，亦治骨哽（时珍）。
【附方】新二。吐血嗽血肺损者∶金星石、银星石、玄精石、不灰木、阳起石、云母石
等分。用坩锅一个，铺冬月水牛粪一、二寸，铺药一层，铺灰二寸，又药一层，重重如此，
以灰盖之，盐泥固济。用炭一秤，火 一日夜，埋土中一夜，取出药块，去灰为末。每一两，
入龙脑、麝香各半钱，阿胶二钱半（炒）。每服一钱，糯米汤下，日三服。（《圣惠方》）
大风虫疮，有五色虫取下∶诸石丸∶用金星 石、银星 石、云母石、禹余粮石、滑石、阳
起石、磁石、凝水石、蜜陀僧、自然铜、龙涎石等分。捣碎瓶盛，盐泥固济之。炭火十斤，
过为末，醋糊丸小豆大。每服十五丸，白花蛇酒下，一日三服，以愈为度。（《太平圣惠
方》）
【附录】金石（《拾遗》） 藏器曰∶味甘，温，无毒。主久羸瘦，不能食，无颜色，补
腰脚冷，令人健壮，益阳，有暴热脱发，飞炼服之。生五台山清凉寺石中，金屑作赤褐色也。
[Preparation] Li Shizhen stated: Take 2 liang of Realgar (Pishí), 0.5 liang each of the kernels of Momordica charantia seed (Mubiezi Ren) and Croton tiglium seed (Badou Ren), and 2 qian of sand. Grind into powder, mix with oil from Momordica charantia seed (Mubiezi You) and petroleum ether (Shinao You) to form a paste, wrap in oiled paper, bury in an earthen pit for 49 days, then take out, break into small pieces, and store in porcelain vessels.
[Properties and Flavor] Pungent, sour, hot, toxic. Dugu Tao stated: Earth Yellow (Tuhuang) is used to process Realgar (Xionghuang).
[Indications] Withered tumors, warts, hemorrhoids, breast diseases, food stagnation, and various sores with foul flesh (Li Shizhen).
(From Song Dynasty *Jiayou Bencao*. Appendix: Silver Star Stone)
[Collected Explanations] Su Song stated: Gold Star Stone (Jinxing Shi) and Silver Star Stone (Yinxing Shi) are both produced in Haozhou and Bingzhou, collected at any time. The therapeutic effects of these two stones are generally similar. Kou Zongshi stated: These two stones treat severe wind disease (Leprosy/Damfeng), requiring a special method; they must be calcined before use. Gold Star Stone grows inside Cangshi stone, with golden bran-like flakes on the exterior; Silver Star Stone has silver-colored bran-like flakes. Another type is deep cyan, hard and moist, containing golden bran-like particles within; this is not used medicinally but is ground by craftsmen for vessels or women's ornaments. Li Shizhen stated: There are several types of Gold Star Stone. The two stones described by Su Song are also found in Wudang Mountain. Some say Gold Star Stone comes from Jiaodong, and Silver Star Stone from Yanmen; these are likely varieties of Mengshi (Calcareous Schist). The two stones mentioned by Kou Zongshi that treat severe wind disease, when cross-referenced with *Shenghui Fang* under the section for severe wind disease, are written as Gold Star and Silver Star Stones, suggesting they are related to Mengshi. *Danfang Jingyuan* in the Mengshi chapter also records the names of these two stones, which seem different from Su's description. Moreover, Gold Star and Silver Star Stones are non-toxic and treat heat-phlegm and blood disorders; Mengshi is toxic and treats wind-leprosy. Observing this, it appears there are two types of Gold Star and Silver Star Stones used in medicine. Additionally, Shezhou inkstones have varieties with Gold Star and Silver Star patterns. Qiongzhou also produces Gold Star Stone, suitable for making inkstones. Jadeite stone can grind gold and is also called Jin Xingming. These are all examples of same name, different substances. Liu Hejian's *Xuanming Fang* uses Gold Essence Stone (Jingjing Shi) and Silver Essence Stone (Yinjing Shi) in eye drop formulas; it is unknown if these are the same as the Gold Star and Silver Star Stones here.
[Properties and Flavor] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Toxic accumulation in the Spleen and Lung, lung damage leading to hematemesis and hemoptysis, discharge of hot phlegm, and detoxification (*Jiayou Bencao*). Taken in small amounts after water-grinding, it calms the mind and treats bone fishbone impaction (Li Shizhen).
[Attached Formulas] Two new formulas. For hematemesis, hemoptysis, and lung damage: Equal parts of Gold Star Stone (Jinxing Shi), Silver Star Stone (Yinxing Shi), Xuanjing Stone, Buhui Wood, Yangqi Stone, and Yunmu Stone. Use one crucible, line the bottom with 1-2 cun of winter buffalo dung, add a layer of herbs, then 2 cun of ash, then another layer of herbs, repeating this process. Cover with ash and seal tightly with salt mud. Calcine with one cheng of charcoal for one day and night, bury in earth for one night, remove the medicinal block, discard the ash, and grind into powder. For every 1 liang of powder, add 0.5 qian each of Longnao (Borneolum Syntheticum) and Shexiang (Moschus), and 2.5 qian of Ejiao (Asini Corii Colla, stir-fried). Take 1 qian per dose, washed down with glutinous rice soup, three times daily (*Shenghui Fang*).
For severe wind insect sores, expelling five-colored insects: Pill of Various Stones: Equal parts of Gold Star Stone (Jinxing Shi), Silver Star Stone (Yinxing Shi), Yunmu Stone, Yuyuliang Stone, Huashi, Yangqi Stone, Cishi, Ningshui Stone, Miduosen, Ziran Tong, and Longxian Stone. Crush, place in a bottle, seal with salt mud. Calcine with 10 jin of charcoal until thoroughly heated, grind into powder, and make pills the size of soybeans using vinegar paste. Take 15 pills per dose, washed down with Baihuashe wine, three times daily, until cured (*Taiping Shenghui Fang*).
[Appendix] Metal and Stone Substances (from *Bencao Shiyi*) Chen Zangqi stated: Sweet, warm, non-toxic. Treats chronic emaciation, inability to eat, lack of luster, coldness in waist and legs, promotes robustness, benefits Yang Qi. If sudden heat causes hair loss, it can be taken after calcination. Produced in stones at Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai, containing gold dust appearing reddish-brown.
