味甘、辛，性微温，无毒。主治消渴（糖尿病样症状），阳痿不足，咳嗽气逆，胸膈间久积之寒邪，能益气，祛除风湿痹痛，治疗肺痿（肺部慢性虚损性疾病），降气，通利小便，补益五脏，使人目光明亮如日月般清澈。长期服用可身体轻盈、延年益寿，耐寒热。产于华阴山谷及泰山。
大端名青（此处原文可能有误或指代不明，结合下文应为描述石英色泽分类）。陶隐居说：现今医家多用新安出产的，以极细长、洁白通透者为佳；寿阳八公山出产的多为大块者，不适宜使用。《仙经》中大小石英均有使用，但必须选择精白无瑕杂者。按照这种说法，则大块者为佳。那四种颜色的英石，现今不再使用。唐本注说：白石英各地都有出产，现今泽州、虢州、洛州的山中都出产，虢州出产的石块较大，直径三、四寸，长五、六寸。现今普遍以泽州出产的为优。臣禹锡等人谨按吴氏所说：白石英，神农认为味甘；歧伯、黄帝、雷公、扁鹊认为味无（可能指无味或淡）；产于太山，形状像紫石英。白泽，长者二、三寸。采集没有固定时间。又说：青石英像白石英，青色端部红色后部的是赤石英，赤色端部白色后部的是赤泽有光，味苦，补心气。黄石英，黄色如金在端部的是黑石英，黑色泽有光。药性论说：白石英为君药。能治疗肺痈（肺部化脓性感染），吐脓，治疗嗽逆上气，黄疸。日华子说：五色石英，性平。治疗心腹邪气，妇女心腹痛，镇心安神，治疗胃冷气，有益毛发，使面色悦泽，治疗惊悸，安魂定魄，壮阳道，下乳，通透光亮者为上品。其补益作用随脏腑颜色而治，青色者治肝，赤色者治心，黄色者治皮肤，白色者治肺，黑色者治肾。
图经说：白石英，产于华阴山谷及泰山。陶隐居认为新安出产的为佳。苏恭认为泽州出产的为优。现今也是泽州出产。大体上以长而白泽，明澈有光，六面如削切般平整者可用。长五、六寸的更好。其黄色如金在端部的，名叫黄石英。赤色端部白色后部的，名叫赤石英。青色端部红色后部的，名叫青石英。黑色泽而有光的，名叫黑石英。二月采集，也有说没有固定时间。古人服食，只重视白石英，紫石英只用于五石散。那黄、赤、青、黑四种，《本经》虽有记载，但方家都不见使用。所以《乳石论》以钟乳为乳，以白石英为石，是六种英石中最珍贵的，只有白石。又说：乳，是阳中之阴；石，是阴中之阳，所以阳气生于十一月后的甲子日服用乳，阴气生于五月后的甲子日服用石。然而它们相反、畏恶，动则为害不浅。所以乳石发作，虽然治疗方法很多，但很少有能救人的，确实不可轻易服用。
圣惠方：治疗腹部坚硬胀满称为石水的方子：用白石英十两，捣碎如大豆大，用瓷瓶盛装，用好酒二斗浸泡，用泥重重封住瓶口，将马粪及糠火烧之，长时间让酒微微沸腾，从卯时到午时停止火，等到第二天，温热一中盏饮用，每天可三次。如果喝酒少，随性情饮用。那些白石英，可以再烧一次。简要济众方：治疗心脏不安，惊悸健忘，上鬲风热化痰。白石英一两，朱砂一两，共同研为散剂。每次服用半钱，饭后、夜卧前，用金银汤调下。
衍义说：白石英，形状像紫石英，只是稍大而呈六棱，白色如水精。紫、白两种石英，当攻逐疾病时，可以暂时煮汁使用，没听说长期服用有益处。张仲景的意思，只令咀嚼，不为细末，难道没有深意吗？其长期服用，更应详细审慎。

Flavor: Sweet, Pungent. Nature: Slightly Warm. Toxicity: Non-toxic. Indications: Xiao Ke (Wasting-thirst syndrome), Yin Wei Bu Zu (Insufficiency of impotence), Ke Ni (Cough and rebellious Qi), Xiong Ge Jian Jiu Han (Long-standing cold in the chest and diaphragm). Actions: Yi Qi (Boosts Qi), Chu Feng Shi Bi (Expels Wind-Dampness and unblocks Bi syndrome), Liao Fei Fei (Treats Lung萎/Fei-Wei), Xia Qi (Descends Qi), Li Xiao Bian (Promotes urination), Bu Wu Zang (Tonifies the Five Zang organs), Tong Ri Yue Guang (Clarifies vision/luminosity). Long-term use leads to Qing Shen Chang Nian (Light body and longevity), Nai Han Re (Endures cold and heat). Habitat: Huayin valleys and Mount Tai.
Da Duan Ming Qing (Large end named Green - *Note: Textual ambiguity, likely referring to classification*). Tao Hongjing states: Current physicians mostly use those from Xin'an, preferring those that are extremely slender, pure white, and transparent; those from Bagong Mountain in Shouyang are mostly large and not suitable for use. The "Immortal Classics" use both large and small, but only those that are pure white without flaws or impurities should be selected. According to this description, the large ones are superior. The four colored stones are no longer used. Tang Ben Zhu notes: Bai Shiyin is found everywhere; currently produced in Zezhou, Guozhou, and Luozhou mountains. Those from Guozhou are larger, with a diameter of 3-4 cun and length of 5-6 cun. Currently, those from Zezhou are considered superior. Ministers Yuxi et al. cite Wu's commentary: Bai Shiyin, Shen Nong says it is Sweet; Qibo, Huangdi, Leigong, Bian Que say it is Tasteless; produced at Mount Tai, shaped like Zi Shiyin (Purple Quartz). Bai Ze, long ones are 2-3 cun. Harvesting time is unrestricted. Also states: Qing Shiyin (Green Quartz) resembles Bai Shiyin; those with green ends and red backs are Chi Shiyin (Red Quartz); those with red ends and white backs are Chi Ze You Guang (Red luster), bitter in flavor, tonifies Heart Qi. Huang Shiyin (Yellow Quartz): those with yellow ends resembling gold are Hei Shiyin (Black Quartz), black luster with shine. Yao Xing Lun states: Bai Shiyin is the Sovereign herb. It treats Fei Yong (Lung abscess), tu nong (expectoration of pus), su ni shang qi (cough with rebellious Qi), dan huang (jaundice). Ri Hua Zi states: Wu Se Shiyin (Five-colored Quartz) is Neutral. Treats heart and abdominal pathogenic factors, women's heart and abdominal pain, calms the Heart, treats Stomach Cold Qi, benefits hair, enhances complexion, treats Jing Ji (palpitations/fright), calms the Soul and stabilizes the Spirit, strengthens Yang Dao, promotes lactation. Transparent and bright ones are superior. Its tonifying effects treat organs according to color: Green treats Liver, Red treats Heart, Yellow treats Skin, White treats Lung, Black treats Kidney.
Tu Jing states: Bai Shiyin is produced in Huayin valleys and Mount Tai. Tao Hongjing considers Xin'an origin superior. Su Gong considers Zezhou origin superior. Currently, it is also produced in Zezhou. Generally, those that are long, white and lustrous, clear and shining, with six faces cut smooth are usable. Those 5-6 cun long are better. Those with yellow ends resembling gold are named Huang Shiyin. Those with red ends and white backs are named Chi Shiyin. Those with green ends and red backs are named Qing Shiyin. Those with black luster and shine are named Hei Shiyin. Harvested in February, or said to have no fixed time. Ancients valued Bai Shiyin most for ingestion; Zi Shiyin was only used in Wu Shi San (Five Mineral Powder). Although the four colors (Yellow, Red, Green, Black) are named in the Ben Jing, practitioners do not use them. Thus, Ru Shi Lun refers to Zhong Ru as "Ru" (Milk) and Bai Shiyin as "Shi" (Stone). Among the six types of Ying stones, only White Stone is precious. It further states: Ru is Yin within Yang; Shi is Yang within Yin. Therefore, after the Jia-Zi day following the birth of Yang in November, one takes Ru; after the Jia-Zi day following the birth of Yin in May, one takes Shi. However, they are contrary and antagonistic; if activated, they cause significant harm. Thus, when Ru Shi attacks occur, although there are many treatments, few succeed. Indeed, one must not take them lightly.
Sheng Hui Fang: Formula for treating Abdominal hardness and fullness known as Shi Shui (Stone Water): Use Bai Shiyin 10 liang, crushed to the size of soybeans, placed in a porcelain bottle, soaked in 2 dou of good wine. Seal the bottle mouth heavily with mud. Burn horse manure and bran to heat it, keeping the wine simmering gently from Mao hour to Wu hour, then stop fire. Wait until the next day, warm one zhong cup and drink. Can be taken three times daily. If alcohol intake is low, drink according to tolerance. The Bai Shiyin can be roasted again. Jian Yao Ji Zhong Fang: For treating Heart unrest, palpitations, forgetfulness, upper diaphragm Wind-Heat transforming phlegm. Bai Shiyin 1 liang, Zhu Sha (Cinnabar) 1 liang, ground together into powder. Take half qian per dose, after meals and before sleep, mixed with Yin Jin Tang (Silver and Gold decoction).
Yan Yi states: Bai Shiyin resembles Zi Shiyin in shape, but is slightly larger and hexagonal, white like rock crystal. Zi and Bai Shiyin, when attacking diseases, can be temporarily boiled for juice use; long-term benefits are unheard of. Zhang Zhongjing's intent was only to chew them, not grind them into fine powder; does this not imply a deeper meaning? Regarding long-term use, one must be more detailed and cautious.
