Precious ore (寶𨥥: [the character 𨥥 (ore)] is 瓜 [gua] + 猛 [meng] [kuàng]. Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli says: 'Gold and jade that have not yet been crafted into utensils.' The Kaosheng also says: 'Unrefined ore of copper, iron, etc.' It is also written as 礦 or 磺. The Shuowen jiezi says it is composed of the metal radical (金) with 廾 as phonetic; 廾 has the same pronunciation as above).
