A carved Chinese Hetian white jade nephrite Pixiu, Qing dynasty. The Pixiu recumbent on all fours, with 'brown suger-like' inclusions on half of back and forefeet, 3 cm long.

This beautiful estate Nephrite jade craft was handmade hand carved. The main stone is the finest grade of white jade nephrite. It has very fine texture with fatty feel,also called 'mutton fat' Nephrite, is the top-grade jade in a translucent white.

Nephrite Jade comes in various colors, the most popular one is creamy white. In terms of quality, the more tremolite there is the better quality the jade. Tremolite is transparent, when it forms into ores, most of them are creamy white. The finest quality Nephrite Jade has a buttery luster and creamy color where no other jade species would have. After a period of wearing and fondle, it turns to glossier, smoothly, oily and prettier. 

Pixiu is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature considered to be a very powerful protector to your money, properties, estate, etc. Pixiu is one of the dragon’s 9 sons, particularly an influential and auspicious creature for wealth. As you can see from the photos, the hungry beast recumbent on his pawls, with three gold coins on left hand side of his back. The greedy beast is clustered by auspicious cloud symbolized his showing up in the air, bring the good luck and wealth to you. His curly mane was trimmed vividly, his tiny teeth even his nostril were carved without any defect, all of these demonstrate the finest exquisite of artisan hand craft which is so impressive to me.
