(《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。
【修治】李时珍说:取砒石二两,木鳖子仁、巴豆仁各半两,砂二钱。研成粉末,用木鳖子油、石脑油调和成一块,用油纸包裹,埋入土坑内,四十九天后取出,劈成小块,用瓷器收藏备用。
【气味】味辛、酸,性热,有毒。独孤滔说:土黄是用来炼制雄黄的。
【主治】枯瘤、赘疣、痔疮、乳疾,以及饮食积滞和各种疮疡中的恶肉(李时珍)。
(出自宋代《嘉祐本草》。附录银星石)
【集解】苏颂说:金星石、银星石,都产于濠州、并州,采集没有固定时间。这两种石头的主治功效大体相似。寇宗奭说:这两种石头治疗大风病(麻风病),有特殊的用法,必须经过烧制后使用。金星石生长在苍石内部,外表有金色的麸片状纹理;银星石则有银色的麸片状纹理。还有一种深青色、质地坚硬润泽的石头,中间含有金色如麸片状的物质,不供药用,工匠将其碾磨制成器皿,或作为妇女的首饰使用。李时珍说:金星石有好几种。苏颂所说的两种石头,武当山也有出产。有人说金星石产于胶东,银星石产于雁门,大概也是礞石一类的石头。寇宗奭所说的两种石头能治大风病,如今考证《圣惠方》大风门中,都写作金星、银星石,那么似乎是礞石之类。《丹房镜源》礞石篇中也记载了这两种石头的名称,似乎与苏颂所说不同。而且金星、银星无毒,主治热涎血病;礞石则有毒,主治风癞疾(麻风疯癫)。观察这些情况,可知金星、银星入药各有两种。另外,歙州的砚石,也有金星、银星品种的。琼州也出产金星石,都可以用来制作砚台。翡翠石能研磨金子,也叫金星名。这些都是同名异物。刘河间《宣明方》点眼药方中使用金精石、银精石,不知道就是这里的金星、银星吗?
【主治】脾肺壅滞之毒,以及肺损伤导致的吐血、咳血,下泄热涎,解除各种毒素(《嘉祐本草》)。用水磨取少量服用,可镇安心神不宁,也能治疗骨鲠(李时珍)。
【附方】新收录两个。吐血、咳血且肺损伤者:金星石、银星石、玄精石、不灰木、阳起石、云母石等分。用一个坩埚,铺上一层一至二寸厚的冬季水牛粪,再铺一层药,再铺两层厚度的灰,又铺一层药,层层如此,最后用灰覆盖,用盐泥密封加固。用炭一秤,煅烧一天一夜,埋入土中一夜,取出药块,去掉灰后研为粉末。每一两药粉,加入龙脑、麝香各半钱,阿胶二钱半(炒制)。每次服用一钱,用糯米汤送服,每日三次。(《圣惠方》)
大风虫疮,排出五色虫: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。捣碎装入瓶中,用盐泥密封加固。用十斤炭火煅烧至透,研为粉末,用醋糊制成小豆大小的丸剂。每次服用十五丸,用白花蛇酒送服,每日三次,以痊愈为度。(《太平圣惠方》)
【附录】金石(出自《本草拾遗》)陈藏器说:味甘,性温,无毒。主治长期消瘦羸弱,不能进食,面色无华,补益腰脚寒冷,使人健壮,增益阳气,若有突发热症脱发,经飞炼后服用。产于五台山清凉寺的石中,含金屑呈赤褐色。
[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.
