About the Variety
The Ji Xin, translating to "Chicken Heart," holds a place as one of the traditional "Four Famous Walnuts" in the Wenwan world. It is universally recognized for its towering, tall posture and elegant lines that closely mimic the shape of a heart. What makes this specific pair is the "San Jiao" (Triangle) classification. This means the shell features three distinct, prominent structural ridges rather than the standard two. This rare geometric anomaly creates a highly three-dimensional, structured shell with incredibly deep valleys, providing an intense, locked-in grip. known for their rapid coloring potential, these walnuts are highly sought after by collectors aiming for a brilliant, red-agate translucency.
This listing is for the exact pair shown in the high-definition photos. Stock ID JX-704 is a meticulously matched, perfectly proportioned pair of "Triangle Chicken Heart" (San Jiao Ji Xin) walnuts, ready for immediate shipping.

- Dimensions: 39.0mm (Width) x 39.0mm (Depth)
[Characteristics of JX-704]
- Rare 1:1 Footprint: Measuring exactly 39.0mm in width and 39.0mm in depth. Standard Chicken Heart varieties are typically elongated and narrow. Achieving a flawless 1:1 symmetrical footprint gives these tall shells a surprisingly robust, grounded, and heavy presence in the palm, completely breaking the mold of the traditional variety.
- Triangular Leverage: The three distinct structural ridges provide completely unique mechanical handling. Instead of a simple rolling motion, the triangular geometry acts as a natural lock against the fingers, delivering highly rhythmic and deeply engaging tactile feedback.
- Deep "Muscular" Texture: The surface displays cavernous valleys and thick, aggressive ridges. This rugged, bone-hard topography acts as intense natural traction, offering profound deep-tissue tactile feedback.
- Expert Care: Because the Chicken Heart variety is famous for its rapid patina development, maximizing its potential requires expert care. We highly recommend keeping them resting in a sealed bag between handling sessions for the first two weeks. This safely utilizes the natural oils to accelerate a brilliant, even oxidation and deep red color, yielding far better results than handling them with gloves.

Shopping with this company is easy. They are organized , have helpful blogs on the WenWan nuts. Check out is simple. They answer questions. I give them 5 huge stars. ⭐️
Great seller, beautiful walnuts, and very satisfied with the customer service! Will definitely buy again!
I am very happy with all my purchases and the attention given to each one. This is an outstanding company
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!
This company is Stellar. I’ve enjoyed the products I’ve Boughten for myself and gifts Ives given.
Love that you have miniature walnuts for those of us who have small hands.
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.
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.
