Great for beginners
As someone new to lapidary work, this piece is forgiving to work with. It polishes up nicely. The only reason for 4 stars is that it was slightly smaller than I imagined from the photos.

Good quality but heavy
The material is authentic and feels substantial. It works great as a paperweight even before processing. Just be aware that the shape is quite irregular, which is expected for raw stock.

Authentic Xiuyan Jade
Verified the material and it is genuine. The grain structure is tight, making it suitable for detailed carving or even turning into chess pieces as described.

Beautiful natural texture
I bought this to display in my study as a natural ornament. The pale green hues are very soothing. It arrived well-packaged with no damage during shipping.

Exceeded expectations
The translucency when held up to light is stunning. I plan to slice this into cabochons. Excellent value for the price compared to local supply shops.

Perfect raw material for custom projects
This Xiuyan jade core is exactly what I needed for my carving practice. The stone has a nice density and the color variation gives it character. No cracks detected upon initial inspection.
Q: What are the approximate dimensions of the core?
A: Since this is a natural unprocessed material, dimensions vary by piece. Typically, these cores range from 6cm to 9cm in length and 3cm to 5cm in diameter. Please check the specific product images for the exact batch.
Q: How should I clean this raw jade before working on it?
A: We recommend gently washing it with lukewarm water and a soft brush to remove any dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners until you have assessed the stone's structural integrity.
Q: Does this come with a certificate of authenticity?
A: We provide a general description of the material origin. For formal gemological certification, an additional fee and third-party appraisal would be required.
Q: Can this be used directly as a paperweight without modification?
A: Absolutely. Many customers use the raw cores directly as paperweights or desk ornaments due to their natural aesthetic and sufficient weight.
Q: Is this stone suitable for making jewelry?
A: Yes, once processed and polished, Xiuyan jade is commonly used for bracelets, pendants, and rings. However, this item is sold as raw material requiring cutting and polishing.
