What sets this pendant apart is its sajin, or golden-speckled, skin: a light scattering of golden colour across the ring that is prized when it contrasts with the paler white jade body. The white Hetian jade (nephrite) is described as fine and lustrous with a faint green cast, and the ring encloses a galloping horse while five small bats are picked out around the rim. Listed dimensions are 51.8 x 9.9 mm with a listed weight of 46 g. Ask Yufu Jade for close-up photographs of the skin and confirmation of the thickness.

The meaning behind this piece
Five bats (wu fu) is a classic blessing motif, since the bat sounds like fu, the word for blessing, and the horse adds a sense of quickness - blessings on horseback. The golden-speckled skin is appreciated as a natural feature of the seed stone; its meaning is aesthetic rather than supernatural.
Sizing and wear
At 51.8 x 9.9 mm and 46 g, this is a compact pendant that hangs lightly yet feels substantial in the fingers (about 2.0 x 0.4 inches).
Keeping this piece at its best
Clean it with a soft cloth and a little clean water, then dry it completely.
Keep it away from ultrasonic cleaners, perfumes and strong chemicals.
Lay it in a padded pouch or box so the carved rim is not knocked against harder objects.

What does the golden-speckled skin mean?
Sajin, or golden-speckled skin, is a natural colouring on the surface of the seed stone that many collectors prize for the contrast it gives against the white jade; ask Yufu Jade for close-ups to see it clearly.
Would this make a good gift?
Its wearable size and the five-bat blessing motif make it a thoughtful cultural gift, though it is best given with an explanation of the motif rather than as a promise of any outcome.
