colorful. In comparison, Jiangjyunyu’s aragonite
shows more concentric circles primaily with
two colors--deep green and golden yellow, and
with delicate texture. In the early time, Pen-
ghu’s aragonite was used to make pendant, ear-
ring pendant, earrings, bracelet, ring setting,
and brooch to meet the market demand. Since
Penghu’s aragonite was forbidden to be mined
in recent years, the calcite crystal and aragonite
plate samples which were in rare demand in the
past have become new favorites for stone col-
lectors.
The basalt is an important natural resource in
Penghu. It can be used to make delicate art
products by sculptors with their creative carving
skills. These basalt products include the owner-
ship stamp, key chain, Taiji series, and scenic
stone, etc. In addition, the handicrafts with dis-
tinctive local features such as the shell decora-
tions, the sand creation, etc. can also be found in
Penghu. The stores are located in Magong City
downtown area, selling a variety of merchan-
dise. When tourism activities become popular
and the lcoations of these stores are right, the
tourism income is quite handsome, which also
benefits the sculptor, artist, craftsman/crafts-
woman, and store owners.
