In a broad sense, Xiuyan jade includes Xiuyan jade from Liaoning, Xiuyan jade from southern Guangdong, Xiuyan jade from Huili, Sichuan, Kunlun jade from Xinjiang and the Jinghuang Xiuyan jade produced in the Ming Tombs in Beijing.

A large amount of high-quality serpentine jade is mainly used to carve into various landscape bonsai, figures, animals, tea sets, wine sets and other handicrafts. Due to its beautiful light green color and soft luster, it is very lovely and quite popular, and therefore it is very popular both at home and abroad.

The benefits of wearing serpentine jade

Serpentine jade is one of the earliest jade raw materials discovered in my country and is also the longest-lasting traditional jade material. Since its raw materials are abundant, its market price is not very high. Although its hardness is relatively low, it is an ideal type of jade for making jade carving bases and small and medium-sized ornaments that do not require high hardness. But this does not affect the value of serpentine jade itself. The most common colors of serpentine jade are white and light green. Other common colors include yellow, yellow-green, green, dark green, bean green, and light green with a slight yellow tint. Serpentine jade contains many trace elements needed by the human body, such as zinc, iron, copper, selenium, chromium, cobalt, nickel and manganese. Women who wear serpentine jade for a long time have certain beauty effects. It can penetrate the skin, enter the human body and supplement the deficiency of trace elements. It plays a certain role in balancing physiological functions for women's health. After long-term wearing and polishing, serpentine jade will produce a special photoelectric effect, forming a smiling electromagnetic field in the human body, which has the effect of calming the wearer's emotions and stabilizing the spirit. In terms of physiological regulation, serpentine jade has the effect of relaxing muscles, activating blood circulation and prolonging life, and is a favorite of the elderly.
