This 7 cm red gemstone cube, weighing 1,300 g, is from Xinjiang, China, and has polished faces that appear translucent when backlit.
Description from the seller
Hold it up to the light, and the stone answers — a deep, warm glow that makes this red cube feel alive in your hand.
This is a perfect red jade cube, 7 × 7 × 7 cm, cut from a natural Xinjiang red-toned stone and polished smooth on every face. What makes it special is the light: hold a lamp or torch behind it, and the red glows through with an inner warmth — the kind of translucency collectors of red stones look for first. The photos show exactly that test, so you can see what it does before you bid.
Look at it:
A true cube, seven centimetres each way — a form that is almost impossible to make well in stone, and utterly satisfying to hold.
Deep red colour with real translucency — the stone glows when backlit, the signature character of fine red jade, shown honestly in the photos.
A carved wooden display base — an openwork carved stand, included, that holds the cube like a jewel.
Weight and presence — dense in the palm, settled and calm on a desk.
It works as a paperweight, a hand piece, or simply a small sculpture of light and colour — at home on a scholar's desk beside ink and brush, on a display shelf among tea things, or in a corner that needs a spot of warm red.
Honest note: this stone is sold under the commercial name "Xinjiang red jade" — a natural red-toned ornamental stone; translucency varies with light and angle, as shown in the photos. The exact piece and base shown are the ones you receive.
It is the perfect piece for a collector of desk stones, a lover of Chinese scholar culture, or anyone who wants a desk object that glows when the light is right.
