Colors include red, rose, yellow, green, and white.〔Xu Xiaomin, "Collector of Magic Pebbles". Shanghai Star, 11 January 2000.

Yunguang used to travel around the country to deliver sermons.One day, He travelled to Nanjing, there, he sat on the Guanghua Gate for three days, talking about his concept, without eating or drinking. According to the legend, his sincerity moved God deeply, so God rained thousands of colourful flowers from the sky to reward him. When the flowers touched the ground, they turned into the Yuhua Stone.
