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”。

螭是古代神话传说中的一种龙。螭龙寓意美好，吉祥，招财，也寓意男女的感情。《汉书·司马相如传上》：“于是蛟龙赤螭。”颜师古注：“文颖曰：‘龙子为螭。’张揖曰：‘赤螭，雌龙也。’如淳曰：‘蠄，山神也。’”《广雅》云：“有角曰虬，无角曰螭。”
身为“印石三宝”之一的田黄石，呈现黄、白、红、黑等色，其中以黄色为最常见。具有珍珠光泽、玻璃光泽、油脂光泽，微透明至半透明，少数透明。硬度2.5，密度2.65-2.90克/厘米3。质地致密、细腻、温润、光洁。尤为引人注目的是其肌里隐约可见萝卜纹状细纹，颜色外浓而向内逐渐变淡，表面时而裹有黄色或灰黑色石皮，间有红色格纹。为田黄石所独有的外观特征，素有“无纹不成田”、“无皮不成田”、“无格不成田”之称。诚然，从其石质来说，仍以纯净为贵。
篆刻字体十分精美，可见其矿物印泥，历经漫长岁月依旧现象，整个章面为不规则椭圆，随田黄形状而定，可以看到外部是不形似*鸡内的鸡油黄呢，十分的温润可人，极其耐赏收藏价值不可估量。
正红，色如桔皮，鲜艳通明，又称“桔皮红田”，极为罕见。煨红，是因烧草积肥等人为原因，使土层受热，而埋藏田中的田黄石受高温影响，表皮二氧化铁引起化学变化，形成红色层，肌里则依然保持原有黄色。往往逊其温嫩，所以不为人们所珍重。
这件田黄颜色偏红，块度大，重达1346克，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，品相完美，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。
