田黄石(Field-yellow stone),简称“田黄”,产于福州市寿山乡寿山溪两旁之水稻田底下,呈黄色而得名。是寿山石品种中的珍品。广义的田黄石指“田坑石”,狭义的田黄石指田坑石中发黄色者。物理性质、工艺美术特征方面,田黄石与寿山石相近,已成为独立的印章石品种。
田黄石是寿山石系中的瑰宝,素有“万石中之王”尊号。其色泽温润可爱,肌理细密,自明清以来就被印人视为“印石之王”。数百年来田黄石极受藏家至爱,正如俗语所说:“黄金易得,田黄难求”。
早在一千多年前,我国已有人开始采集,到了明清两代田黄石更是盛名于世。许多达官显贵,文人雅士竞相刻意收集田黄石。相传清初时期皇帝祭天,神案上都少不了一方上品田黄石。因此,田黄石一直盛名不衰,身价倍增,曾有古话“一两田黄一两金”。

上图可见清晰的萝卜纹,红筋,表现十分自然,这也正是由于田黄冻的半透明感,给人直观的体现了萝卜纹,红筋的美感,由此特征为开门田黄冻石。
萝卜纹是田黄石的沁色通道,众所周知,原本是山中矿石的田黄石胚,经过溪水长期的冲刷滚动,磨圆了棱角,淘净了杂质,形成了卵形的田黄石胚胎,然后又被地表的虚土掩埋在溪谷沙石泥土的底层,在周围含铁土壤、水分及温度的浸渍与影响下,对田黄石起了沁色(自然加色)作用。这种漫长而十分特殊的沁色过程,使田黄石的色泽自然瑰丽,而肌理隐现的萝卜纹便是田黄石沁色的通道。或者说没有田黄石的萝卜纹,就不会有田黄石桔皮黄、金黄、桂花黄、熟栗黄,枇杷黄,奶黄等颜色形成的必要条件。
九叠篆,是一种非常特别的篆书,原本是一种流行于宋代的“国朝官印”字体,主要用于印章镌刻,其笔画折叠堆曲,均匀对称。每一个字的折叠多少,则视笔画的繁简确定,有五叠、六叠、七叠、八叠、九叠、十叠之分。之所以称为“九叠”,则是因“九是数之终,言其多也”。可见此田黄印章九叠篆之精美,不仅材质珍贵,工艺超绝,同时也具有极高的书法价值。
可见基座上几条红筋,其中一条红筋十分明显,再看此狮钮印章,狮子偏头回望,而古代取其谐音,寓意为:好(狮)事在后头,故而此印章寓意十分吉祥,为市场讨喜之珍品。

这件田黄颜色纯正,整体呈现冻状,有如果冻一般,润感十足,字体篆刻精美,工整,章面干净整洁,且有老朱砂红泥附着,可见此印章带着年代沧桑感,细看品相完美,十分耐赏!目前田黄价格以克计算,加上这工艺年代,其收藏价值不可估量,为市场追逐之稀有宝藏,可谓是千金易得,一宝难求。
