玫瑰(字林莫迴反下胡魁反石珠也圓好者次玉也說文火齊珠也說文石之美好曰玫圓好曰瑰經文作㻁非也)。

玫瑰 [rose gem / fine stones]: The Zilin gives the fanqie 莫迴 (méi). The second character has the fanqie 胡魁 (guī). They are stone pearls; round and fine ones rank second to jade. The Shuowen jiezi says: "It is a fire-purified gem (huoqi)." The Shuowen jiezi says: "The fine and beautiful among stones is called 玫; round and beautiful ones are called 瑰." In the scripture text it is written 㻁, which is incorrect.
