Awesome stuff! I'm not exactly sure that I understand the post though. Are these yours? Are they carved from natural stone or are they molded? (I brought back alot of stuff from Japan, it all looks real but some of it is molded)

Thanks everyone. These are not mine,now I just collect stone seal and rough stone, because
of our culture we think seal is the best. All these are real stones ---- pyrophyllite, kaolinite and
dickite,mohs scale 2.0 to 3.0. In China there are millions of stone collector and more than 100,000 stone covers, some of them are just interested in soft stones like me. We believe maby 10 years later there is no suitable soft stone for carving, this is one the reasons why I collect rough stone now. I believe there is must be suitable soft stone in the world, but who can find soft stone and tell me?
I am very happy that you like our stuff, and I will introduce our stone cultures to you later. Our soft stone culture has a history of 1,000 years, it is very extensive and scholarship, and it
will take all my life to study it.

Yes, I live in Hangzhou, a very beautiful city. The molded you bought from Japan is made of
polyester, if you check it carefully,there is a bit different from real stone, for example color,
vestige of knife, pore of stone...
