Our Golden Hetian Jade Cicadas are carved from warm-toned nephrite jade sourced from Xinjiang, China. This variety is known for its fine-grained texture, natural waxy lustre, and soft golden hue — a highly valued expression of Hetian Jade. These pieces have been stored alongside aromatic resins, giving them a subtle woody, sweet scent that reflects their traditional handling and storage.
The cicada is a long‑standing symbol in Chinese culture, representing rebirth, renewal, and protection. Paired with Golden Hetian Jade — a stone associated with prosperity, grounding, and emotional harmony — these carvings carry a gentle, steadying energy and a sense of cultural continuity.

GOLDEN HETIAN JADE
GGolden Hetian Jade is a rare and highly valued variety of Hetian Nephrite from the Hotan region of Xinjiang, China. Its warm golden‑yellow to honey‑beige tone comes from iron within the tremolite matrix, creating the classic “chicken fat” or “golden mutton fat” colour prized in traditional jade carving. This fine‑grained nephrite has a naturally waxy, oily lustre and soft translucency — hallmarks of authentic Hetian material. Treasured in Chinese culture for over 3,000 years, Golden Hetian Jade symbolises prosperity, wisdom, protection, and grounded harmony. It is associated with emotional balance, clarity, personal strength, confidence, abundance, success, and deepened spiritual awareness.
