Hetian Jade

Structural Diffusion: Hetian jade is one of the least globally standardized gemstones. In Xinjiang-focused sourcing, texture uniformity often outweighs color purity, while Hong Kong dealers may prioritize translucency. “Mutton-fat” classification is not fixed—some markets define it by visual whiteness, others by internal light diffusion behavior under slow rotation. This inconsistency explains why pricing spreads remain extremely wide even within similar visual categories.
