Product Description

Nanjiangshi Lion Head Walnut Pair is a choice for someone who has begun to notice the forms and textures they prefer. Look for textbook flat-base stance and brain-coral texture matrix in the gallery.

Compare the outline, surface and listed size with the pieces you already enjoy. The details below explain the identity, condition and care of this pair.

About the Variety

The Nanjiangshi variety is a historic lineage within the classic Lion Head family, recognized for its stone-like bone density. While a standard walnut grows natively with only two ribs, an extraordinarily rare genetic anomaly yields 


This listing features the exact pair of walnuts shown in the photos. Stock ID NJS-808 is a naturally matched pair of traditional "Three-Ribbed" (San Leng Ben) Nanjiangshi walnuts. This pair measures exactly 40mm in width and 40mm in depth, combining a rare three-chambered geometry with a flawless 1:1 circular symmetry and a rock-solid flat-base architecture. Ready for immediate shipping.

  • Stock: 1 of 1 (Single Inventory)
  • Variety: Nanjiangshi Lion Head (San Leng NJS)
  • Dimensions: 40.0mm (Width) x 40.0mm (Depth/Belly)

[Product Characteristics of NJS-808]

  • Flawless 1:1 Triangular Geometry: Measuring an identical 40.0mm in width and 40.0mm in depth. Hitting a perfect 1:1 round standard combined with a three-chambered layout provides a completely unique tactile rotation. Instead of rolling two flat faces past each other, the three prominent vertical ridges engage the hand dynamically, offering full-bodied volume that fills out the palm seamlessly.
  • Textbook Flat-Base Stance: True to its premium lineage, this pair features an exceptionally flat, stable base that allows each walnut to stand completely upright on flat surfaces. The vertical seams are sharp and perfectly straight, diving symmetrically into the three right-angled corners.
  • Brain-Coral Texture Matrix: The surface is formed by a tightly woven, deeply sculpted network of fluid ridges and pocketed valleys. This interlocking topography provides excellent natural traction against the skin, delivering an active and thorough palm massage during daily rotation without any sharp or prickly points.
  • Resonant Stone Acoustics: Grown to full wild maturity with extra-thick internal chamber walls, this pair carries significant physical weight relative to its volume. When rotated past one another, they produce a distinct, high-pitched, metallic ceramic ring rather than a muffled wood clack.

[Maintenance & Aging Advice]

Because the "Nanjiangshi" variety features an extraordinarily high shell density and an intricate surface network of valleys, it is recommended to keep this pair in a sealed bag when resting between handling sessions for the first month. This practice safely traps natural skin oils to guide a uniform, blotch-free oxidation process across all three faces. Handling them directly with bare hands—completely skipping the use of gloves—is the definitive method to naturally develop a deep, translucent crimson patina.

You are easy to work with and are great communication.

Incredible service, I ordered a pair that sadly could not be shipped on account of a website error. Normally that would be a red flag; in this case however, an agent reached out to me immediately, allowed me to pick out an even higher quality pair and included some very thoughtful gifts. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and what started out as a mistake will have me returning here first whenever I want to expand my collection.

Class acts!

I ordered my Wenwans about 13 days ago. After contacting this company about a shipping issue they were able to solve it immediately as well as to rush the order. Literally just got mine today and they are absolutely gorgeous and very large! My Pair# is DGM-901. These are my very first high grades ones. Bought some crappy amazon ones for like 6 bucks to practice. I cannot wait to start my journey with these. I highly recommend this company for their outstanding customer service and quality control!

Thank you!

These guys a great. Walnuts are high quality, and what you see is what you get, no random pairs that you may not like.
I've got 5 pairs off of them so far, and none have any flaws: no yellowing, pin holes, worm marks or cracks.
I'm not an expert, but I can't detect any dyes or processing on the nuts I have received.
They get back to you quickly if you have questions or issues.

Shipping is a couple weeks to canada since its off shore orgin. No big deal.

I do wish they would post the weights of the pairs as well in the listings, but this is minor.

I consider Zenwalnut to be the best north american walnut vendor hands down.

Good

The box it came with is great and well made. The walnuts are out of this world. I don’t know how you find a three ridge mutation (Spartan motif) with such a good pairing. Even the basins complement each other, one elavated and the other depressed so they fit together. I highly recommend this seller if you want a reliable place where you can find rare, high quality walnuts. What you see in the pictures and videos is what you get. These are my second pair from zenwalnuts and I love both of them, thank you

The first pair I bought was a pair of minis, Packaging was amazing! Display case, and brushes were all under $100. I've been using them for just over a week. Excellent quality, I have dropped them once on accident of course over concrete while outside on the patio. I was quite concerned, I gave them a look over and no cracks, chips, or scratches were found. I am now looking into higher valued pairs. I will be buying other pairs for birthday gifts and collections. I posted them on FB and will continue to keep updates of the transformation every so often.
