According to John Hay in Kernels of Energy, Bones of Earth, p. 137, no. 19, the surface of this quartzite stone, also called yellow wax stone, has a warmth and depth of appearance that the Chinese would call "moist" (run).
Robert Mowry, in his discussion of a smaller yellow wax stone scholar's rock in the catalogue for the exhibition, World's Within Worlds: The Richard Rosenbaum Collection of Chinese Scholar's Rocks, Harvard University Art Museums, 1997, p. 271, no. 61, notes that these types of stones were obtained from riverbeds in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, and "were first collected for studio display during the Qing dynasty, probably in the seventeenth or eighteenth century." The rocks are valued for their golden caramel color, and often have a textured surface.
