Grade

 Priceless honey colored stones
 

The quality of honey colored stones can be estimated according to their texture. The excellent stones are featured by their exquisiteness, smoothness, transparency and purity, able to be stroked in hand as a baby’s skin. Further, the elegant ones should have delicate and clear grains.

Shape

Since most wonderful seals are square in shape, carving seals with honey colored stones should choose materials with regular shapes and proportions.

Craft

Carving seals with stones require excellent skills as a jade without chiseling will not become a useful object. Without skillful carving, the honey colored stones can only be the first-class stones not the extraordinary artworks.

How to preserve honey colored stones

The way to better preserve honey colored stones is to stroke them frequently in the hand or rub them gently on your face to let the grease off your face infiltrate into the stones, which is thought to make the stones spiritualized with humanity. Do not put the stones on a place that is hot, dry and exposed to the sunlight.
