会圣宫石砚雕刻艺术是一种传统的民间美术，源于北宋时期，流传于洛阳地区。

会圣宫石砚自古砚以石名、石以砚贵，至北宋已名声臻盛。早在东周时期，洛阳邙山的紫丹、青碧已被开采利用。“会圣宫砚”产于洛阳东部邙山下寺沟村，唐宋曰“暖泉”，溪中有暖石色紫可做砚台。在溪涧中常年累月接受地热及暖水滋养，浑然天成，乘法自然。使之结构细密、柔腻温润、不干不涸、发墨养毫。以其“发墨不泛”的特性，赢得王公名流，文人墨客的垂青。加之上乘的工艺，构思奇妙的雕琢，被奉为文房至宝，是当时十分罕见、而又名贵的奢侈品，是名震一时的稀世珍宝。

传承人孟金刚自幼受其堂叔影响，对会圣宫砚的选石、雕刻深入研究，从其堂叔的言传身教中，掌握了从采石、选料、制璞、雕刻、磨光等砚雕的一整套制作工艺。制作的作品有洛阳牡丹、龙门大佛、洛神赋图、龙凤花鸟、山水人物等，其功力在砚台上得以体现，雕刻惟妙惟肖、栩栩如生，充分的体现了“洛阳会圣宫砚”迷人魅力。
