You can use it, but it will take some effort. Playing with seals is generally hand-carved, using soft materials such as Bashan stone and chicken blood. Even if jade is nephrite, Hetian jade has the highest hardness of 5, others are higher than 7, and the hand-carved jade grinds bubbles, and the machine-carved seal has no lasting appeal.
Because the unique composition of jade determines its tough characteristics, it is relatively difficult to break. Seal is a kind of document that people often use to prove their identity. So most people will wear it, and its unique color makes it more beautiful to wear.
Jade seal is different from lithograph, it is made of a special kind of stone, and its value is relatively low. As a jade handicraft, the jade seal is loved by more and more people, because it not only has practical functions, but also has the value of viewing, decoration and collection, and is an excellent choice for giving gifts.
Jade is not widely used in printing because it is hard. Generally, the hardness of jade is about 6-7, which is not suitable for carving. The hardness of Yin Zhangshi is about 2-3. The hardness is too high to enter the knife.
