    I guess not considered seals but just decorative. Saw them today but did not buy them because I can't tell if they are old or recent. That carved text (poem?) is squeezed in 1" square.
    Anything interesting here or not?
    Thanks

    Orange one looks more like some cast stone substitute than natural stone, but if it has no bubbles showing is probably stone. Whitish one looks like real stone. I'm guessing the text was laser-engraved on both.

    Thanks for the reply. They are both stone. I also thought it would be almost impossible to engrave the tiny text by hand. Plus it is too neat. I guess that would mean recent pieces.

    Hi,
    We had a couple that used to do the name things on a grain of rice. They worked the local flea markets. I had a grain that said Albuquerque. I wonder where I put it?
