Hetian jade (also known as Hotan jade or Khotan jade) is a highly prized type of nephrite jade that comes from the Hetian region of Xinjiang, China. It is one of the most revered types of jade in Chinese culture, known for its beauty, historical significance, and spiritual value.

Key Characteristics of Hetian Jade:

  1. Composition:

    • Hetian jade is a type of nephrite, which is a calcium, magnesium, and iron-rich silicate mineral. Nephrite jade is tougher and more durable compared to jadeite, the other major type of jade.
  2. Color:

    • It is most famous for its creamy white or "mutton fat jade" (羊脂玉), which is the most highly prized variety. However, Hetian jade can also be found in shades of green, yellow, black, and gray.
  3. Texture:

    • Hetian jade is known for its fine, smooth texture and slight translucency. High-quality pieces feel almost silky to the touch.
  4. Historical Significance:

    • Hetian jade has been used for thousands of years in China for carving, jewelry, and religious objects. It symbolizes purity, nobility, and immortality in Chinese culture and has been a favorite material for imperial courts and artisans.
  5. Sources:

    • The primary sources are the rivers and mountains near the city of Hetian in Xinjiang. Jade is found in alluvial deposits (riverbeds) and is painstakingly extracted.

Cleaning

  1. Use a Soft Cloth: Regularly wipe your silver jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt.
  2. Mild Soap and Water: For a deeper clean, use warm water with a mild, ammonia- and phosphate-free dish soap. Gently rub the jewelry with your fingers or a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Storing

  1. Keep Dry: Store your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place. Humidity can accelerate tarnishing.
  2. Use Anti-Tarnish Materials: Store your pieces in anti-tarnish bags or wrap them in anti-tarnish cloth. You can also add silica gel packs to your storage to absorb moisture.
  3. Separate Pieces: Store silver jewelry separately to avoid scratches and tangling.

Wearing

  1. Avoid Chemicals: Remove your silver jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray. Chemicals in these products can accelerate tarnishing.
  2. Wear Often: Wearing your silver jewelry can help keep it shiny because the friction against your skin and clothing can reduce tarnish.
