A man in Zhejiang Province has created a "banquet" using stones and gems, reports thepaper.cn. 

The "dishes" on the menu are worth 200,000 yuan in total and include braised pork, steamed clams and stir-fried shrimp. 

Some of them are "cooked" with rare agate and fossils.

Collector Wang Wanzhong worked in the restaurant business but he became interested in stones and started investing in 2009. 

He spent 10 years collecting stones from across China. 

Wang is running an exhibition that has already attracted thousands of people since last month.
