The Tianhuangshi Jade Seal is a jade seal made from Tianhuangshi. Tianhuangshi is a precious gem among Shoushan stone varieties, possessing the six virtues of being fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm, and condensed. Therefore, it is called the "Emperor Stone" and has become a national stone exclusively used for worshipping the heavens in the Qing Dynasty. The Tianhuangshi Jade Seal was presented as a tribute to the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was carved into imperial seals and artistic ornaments, with extremely high collection value
