- The rocks are (apart from some enhancements) *naturally* formed rather than "made".
- It's not (uncountable) limestone but rather (countable) limestone rock.
- Added a cross-reference for 英德

I have put in a separate sub for
供石 供石 [gong1 shi2] /scholar's rock (one of the naturally-eroded, fantastically-shaped rocks put on display indoors or in gardens in China)/

英石又名英德石,因於英州(現廣東省英德市)得名。
