In the traditional, narrow sense, it refers specifically to jade produced in the Hetian region of Xinjiang, renowned worldwide for its "seed jade" from Hetian; broadly, Hetian Jade refers to nephrite (true jade). When Qin Shi Huang unified China, Hetian Jade was known as "Kunshan Jade" because it was produced in the Kunlun Mountains. Later, it was called "Yutian Jade" as it was located within the "Yutian Kingdom." It was not until 1883, when the Hetian Straight Prefecture was established, that it was officially named "Hetian Jade." Although Hetian Jade is named after Hetian in Xinjiang, it is not inherently a geographical concept, nor does it specifically refer to jade produced in the Hetian region of Xinjiang. Instead, it is the name of a category of products. China names any stone with a tremolite content of over 98% as Hetian Jade, all within the national standard. That is, regardless of whether it is produced in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or South Korea, as long as its main component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian Jade. Hetian Jade comes in a rich variety of colors, including white, celadon, grey, light to dark green, yellow to brown, and ink black. Hetian Jade is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact metasomatism between magnesian marble and intermediate-acid magmatic rocks. It contains a mineral aggregate of tremolite, actinolite, and paragasite. Its chemical composition is a hydrated calcium magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5[Si8O22](OH)2. Its density is 2.95-3.17, and its Mohs hardness is between 6.0-6.5. The main structure of Hetian Jade is metamorphic texture, including felt-like cryptocrystalline metamorphic texture, microfibrous-cryptocrystalline metamorphic texture, microfibrous-nebulitic metamorphic texture, microtabular-cryptocrystalline metamorphic texture, microtabular metamorphic texture, and micro-radiating (brush-like) metamorphic texture. Less common structures include residual string structure and replacement corono structure. Although the mineral grains of Hetian Jade have a certain orientation, it is not strong. Grain extinction phenomena and plastic deformation are occasionally observed. These indicate that the stress intensity of the metamorphic process was within the elastic limit of the minerals. The main structures of Hetian Jade include massive and schistose structures, with massive structures being more common. ●● The "Mutual Nurturing" of Jade and its Wearer A widely accepted saying about playing with jade is "One nurtures jade for three years, and jade nurtures one for a lifetime." Jade contains abundant trace elements, which are activated when the jade is warmed through handling. However, there is a simpler method now referred to as "mutual nurturing"—the most convenient way to play with and care for jade is by wearing it close to the body! The sweat and oils secreted by the body effectively moisturize the jade, making it more lustrous and bright. Similarly, as the jade is warmed by the body, its trace elements are activated and enter the body through the skin, enhancing blood circulation and metabolism! This provides health and wellness benefits! ●● Prompt Maintenance for Jade When Not Worn If jade cannot be worn close to the body or for special reasons cannot be worn, it should be maintained promptly. You can periodically oil the jade. Drip baby oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil onto a toothbrush, then evenly brush it onto the jade, seal it in a bag, and store it away! ♡♡ If you have any questions, please consult the designer!

With our hands and wisdom, we polish it, adorn it, infuse it with soul and thought, and bestow upon it individuality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story. What story does it carry? What aspirations does it hold for the future? I believe this is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or themes, I aim to be grounded in the present, to record this era, and to tell its story through my own form of language, hoping to resonate with more people.
