Origin: Xinjian, China Size: Width 3/8 Inch Length 3/4 Inch Condition: Perfect, no flaws, scratches, or repairs Description Buddha foot is a religious symbol of the enlightened teacher. The amulet is to help people to drive away the demon inside and purify heart and mind. Hetian Nephrite is mined in the high altitude Kunlun Mountains (4500 m) in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region of north-western China, near the Mongolian and Russian boarder. Hetian Nephrite is divided into two categories: 'Mountain Nephrite' and 'Seed Nephrite,' with the Seed Nephrite being more desirable. Varieties of Seed Nephrite are: black jade, blue-white jade, green jade, mutton-fat Jade, tang jade, white jade, and yellow jade. Mutton-Fat Jade is considered to finest with a 'greasy' delicate texture and bright color. Chinese Hetian nephrite is nearing depletion due to over-mining, and as such it has become very valuble.
