The stone has a soft, waxy luster and a gentle green that ranges from pale celadon to deeper forest tones, and when it's shaped into an animal form, something about it just feels alive. These carved figurines come in three subjects: an elephant, a turtle, and a squirrel, each one hand-carved from natural Xiuyan Jade and polished to bring out the stone's quiet, grounding beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=xiuyan+jade\"\u003eXiuyan Jade\u003c\/a\u003e (natural serpentine-type jade from Xiuyan, China)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/carved\"\u003eCrystal Carved\u003c\/a\u003e animal figurine sculpture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable subjects: Elephant, Turtle, Squirrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntentions: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abundance-prosperity-crystals\"\u003eAbundance \u0026amp; Prosperity\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/protection-crystals\"\u003eProtection\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grounding-stability-crystals\"\u003eGrounding \u0026amp; Stability\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChakras: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/heart-chakra-crystals\"\u003eHeart Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/root-chakra-crystals\"\u003eRoot Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product is pulled at random by size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovely on a shelf, altar, or desk as a meaningful carved piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChakra Connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiuyan Jade resonates most strongly with the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/heart-chakra-crystals\"\u003eHeart Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e, carrying a gentle, nurturing energy that supports emotional balance, compassion, and a sense of inner peace.

Avoid dropping it on hard surfaces and keep it away from harsh chemical cleaners. For physical cleaning, a soft damp cloth is all you need. Energetically, this stone responds well to moonlight cleansing, which is gentle and won't affect the carving or finish. You can also smudge it with sage or palo santo, or place it near \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=xiuyan+jade\"\u003eXiuyan Jade\u003c\/a\u003e pieces you've already cleared.

It's technically a serpentine-type jade, composed primarily of antigorite and other serpentine minerals, which gives it that characteristic soft green color and waxy luster. While it differs mineralogically from the more famous nephrite and jadeite, Xiuyan Jade has its own rich cultural history and carries the same associations with harmony, protection, and prosperity that jade has held across Asian cultures for millennia. The stone is believed to carry a gentle, steady energy that supports emotional balance and connects the wearer to the natural world.
