Perfect for beginners in the field of seal stone carving, the Kunlun is softer than many seal stones to allow for easier carving as you are learning this craft. The great thing about these stones, however, is that they are still firm enough to be easy to maintain and work with. For these reasons, Kunlun seal stones are known as one of the four best seal stones in China.
Additionally, the patterns of the stone make it naturally beautiful, so the stamp you make with it will be a great addition to your studio. The colors of the stone range from a light brown that is nearly white to a yellowish-brown to a darker brown that create a distinctive look that you can enjoy for years to come.
Seal stone carving has been around since ancient times, and its combination of calligraphy and engraving can be one of the most satisfying skills to master in all of Chinese art.
