The white jade is described as exceptionally fine and oily, and the piece takes its name — 火种 (Huozhong), or Ember — from the jujube-red skin, which the carver has shaped into leaping flames. Within the fire a fire god's face is said to be faintly visible, a deliberate use of the skin's natural colour. The source lists the piece at 72 x 42 mm with a thickness of about 25 mm and a weight of 145 g. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and send daylight photographs so the red skin reads accurately.

What is the Ember motif about?
Ember refers to the jujube-red skin being carved as flames, an allusion to the fire god Zhurong of Chinese myth. It is a subject about a first spark and energy, expressed through the natural red of the stone.
Why is jujube-red skin valued?
Jujube-red skin (枣红皮) is one of the most prized natural skins on Hetian seed jade, a rich red-brown rind that collectors regard as both attractive and a marker of natural seed material.
