Nanjiangshi, also known as Nanjiang Stone, is a top-tier variety of Chinese ornamental Ma Walnut from Nanjiang Village, Hebei. It is a classic hand-played collectible (wenwan walnut), not for eating.
Famous for ultra-high density, heavy solid feel and crisp stone-like sound when tapped. Features cannonball shape, deep rugged ridges and ant grain texture. It patinas slowly. With years of hand rolling and brushing, it turns into a gorgeous translucent jade-red finish.
Wenwan walnut rolling is a traditional relaxing hand ritual. Each matched pair is a unique natural sculpture.
Tips: Keep away from extreme temperature to prevent cracking. Regular brushing for even patina.
