Hetian Jade, one of China's "Four Great Famous Jades." In its traditional, narrow definition, it specifically refers to jade produced in the Hetian region of Xinjiang, renowned worldwide with the "river-worn pebble" (籽料) as its representative. In a broader sense, Hetian Jade refers to nephrite (true jade). https://img.zcool.cn/community/01cni5tkmkdapfu4pkptwv3935.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp When Qin Shi Huang unified China, Hetian Jade was known as "Kunlun Mountain Jade" due to its origin in the Kunlun Mountains. Later, it was called "Yutian Jade" as it was located within the "Yutian Kingdom." It was officially named "Hetian Jade" only in 1883, during the Guangxu era, when the Hetian Direct Prefecture was established. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01mgrxn3otv0sq2jgnvdcz3530.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp Although Hetian Jade is named after Hetian in Xinjiang, it is not a geographical concept but a product category name. China classifies any stone with over 98% tremolite content as Hetian Jade, falling within national standards. Therefore, regardless of its origin – Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or Korea – as long as its main component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian Jade. Hetian Jade comes in a rich spectrum of colors, including white, cyan, gray, light to deep green, yellow to brown, and ink black. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01yglbsjulruiwtgbctvkw3230.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp Hetian Jade is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact and metasomatism between magnesian marble and intermediate-acid magmatic rocks. It is an aggregate of minerals including tremolite, actinolite, and edenite. Its chemical composition is a hydrated calcium magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5[Si8O22](OH)2. Its density ranges from 2.95-3.17, and its Mohs hardness is between 6.0 and 6.5. The primary structure of Hetian Jade is metamorphic, encompassing felt-like cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous-nephrite metamorphic structure, micro-flaky-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, micro-flaky metamorphic structure, and micro-radial (brush-like) metamorphic structure. Less common structures include residual vein structure and replacement coronitic structure. While the mineral grains in Hetian Jade exhibit a degree of orientation, it is not strong. Occasional instances of wavy extinction and plastic deformation in the grains are observed. These indicate that the stress intensity during metamorphism was within the elastic limit of the minerals. The main textures of Hetian Jade include massive and flaky textures, with massive textures being more common. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01h9pmg8dxmjp1qcwzuqn03935.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp Jasper is a type of Hetian Jade, known for its beautiful color and fine texture, appearing as a semi-transparent spinach green. It includes Xinjiang Jasper, Tuojiang Jasper, and Russian Jasper. Xinjiang Jasper feels delicate to the touch, Tuojiang Jasper feels cool and moist, and Russian Jasper is visually more striking than Xinjiang Jasper. Jasper is a variety of Hetian Jade, which is globally recognized as the "King of Soft Jade." It encompasses various colors such as ink jade, jasper, cyan jade, white jade, and yellow jade. Generally, yellow jade is considered the finest, followed by ink jade, then white jade and jasper, and lastly cyan jade. 【 Logistics | Shipping 】 【Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Mainland China】: Shipped via SF Express, estimated delivery within approximately 5 days. 【Other International Regions】 Default shipping is via International SF Express, with an estimated delivery time of 6-10 days (longer if subject to customs inspection). 《Brand Philosophy》 Jade, having journeyed through millennia, witnesses the ebb and flow of civilization. With our hands and wisdom, we polish it, adorn it, infusing it with soul and thought, bestowing upon it personality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story; the story it carries from the past and its aspirations for the future, this, I believe, is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or motifs, I hope to remain grounded in the present, to record this era, and to tell its story through our unique artistic language, hoping to resonate with more people.
