Bahrain stone is named after its origin in the Right Banner of Bahrain. Along with Shoushan stone from Fujian, Shangshan stone from Zhejiang, and Changhua stone, it is known as one of the "Four Great Seal Stones of China." It was discovered over a thousand years ago and presented as a tribute to the imperial court, and was referred to as "a gift from heaven" by Genghis Khan, the great Mongol conqueror. In October 2001, during the APEC summit in Shanghai, Bahrain frozen stone was crafted into gift seals and presented to world leaders under the name "Surging Pacific," symbolizing the close economic ties and continuous development among the countries around the Pacific Rim. This helped Bahrain stone gain international recognition. Bahrain stone has become a flagship tourism product of the Right Banner of Bahrain, earning widespread praise from domestic and international dignitaries, literati, and stone experts, and is hailed as "China’s finest, the world’s premium." The stone community says, "The world’s chicken-blood stone is in China, China’s chicken-blood stone is in Bahrain, and Bahrain’s chicken-blood stone is at the Exotic Stone Museum."
