It is named after the ancient creator goddess Nu Wa, who famously melted five-colored stones to patch a hole in the heavens. This variety earns its legendary name through its physical properties: an incredibly heavy, rock-hard shell density and a deeply rugged, chaotic texture that perfectly resembles primordial stone or a meteorite. Because of its extreme density, this shell requires patience. To ensure the best patina development, these dense walnuts should be kept in a sealed bag when not in use for the first two weeks to aid natural oxidation, rather than handling them with gloves. Over time, they yield a brilliant, indestructible, glass-like finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e[Characteristics of NWS-706]\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCompact \u0026amp; Grounded Footprint:\u003c\/b\u003e Measuring 36.0mm in width and 34.0mm in depth.
