汉白玉主要成分是碳酸钙它是一种化合物也是一种颜色洁白的细粒大理岩质坚硬是上等的建筑和雕刻材料基本上它并不溶于水它洁白无瑕质地坚实而又细腻非常容易雕刻古往今来的名贵建筑多采用它作原料据传我国从汉代起就用这种宛若美玉的材料修筑宫殿装饰庙宇雕刻佛像点缀堂室因为是从汉代开始用这种洁白无瑕的美玉来做建筑材料的人们就顺口说成了汉白玉也有另一种说法是汉白玉质地坚硬洁白石体中泛出淡淡的水印俗称汗线故而得名汉白玉
汉白玉虽质地较为坚硬但却脆弱易碎所以汉白玉雕刻的艺术品较珍贵因为能称得上艺术品的都必须用的汉白玉因为只有用汉白玉才可以上数千万年不风化次料普通汉白玉则不同风化年限较早长的几十年短的几年有的甚至当年就风化还有的刚几年就存在石层石线开裂现象
玉字说出了汉白玉的特性其实汉白玉并不是玉而是大理石的一种之所以以玉命名是因为它莹润有光泽薄的地方都能透过光白字指的是它的白要够耀眼够闪亮最重要的是这个汉字代表了汉白玉最鲜为人知的一个特征真正的汉白玉并不是洁白无瑕的而是隐含着浅浅的纹路就像是出汗的印记一样
