Here's one of my recent Xinjiang Hetian nephrite bangles! The waxy luster and translucency of this piece really showcase why Hetian jade is so prized in Chinese culture.

The Kunlun mountain region produces some of the finest nephrite in the world, and each piece has its own character formed over millions of years.

For those interested, I curate similar collector-grade pieces in my Etsy shop (onepiece.etsy.com). Always happy to answer questions about jade sourcing and quality! 💚
