Natural Xiuyan Jade Polished Turtle Carving China

This Natural Xiuyan Jade Polished Turtle Carving China is sculpted from genuine serpentine-type jade (antigorite and lizardite hydrous magnesium silicate) sourced from Xiuyan County in Liaoning Province, China. Each piece measures approximately 4 inches in length by 2.25 inches in width by 1.23 inches in height. The material displays a characteristic translucent to semi-translucent green body color with natural waxy to vitreous surface lusters. This carved item is completely untreated, containing no polymer resins, dye injections, chemical bleaches, or artificial surface coatings.

Exhibiting a Mohs hardness rating between 4.5 and 5.5, this Natural Xiuyan Jade Polished Turtle Carving China demonstrates moderate durability suitable for lapidary carving and decorative displays. The serpentine mineral matrix features a microcrystalline to cryptocrystalline texture, allowing for fine carved details across the shell carapace and head features. Its specific gravity averages between 2.57 and 2.60, providing a smooth, dense weight in hand following precision wheel polishing and final buffing processes.
