[The Story: "Nan Gua" ] Named after the Pumpkin, this variety is famous for its stout, segmented shape and incredible fullness.

  • Symbolism: In Eastern culture, the pumpkin symbolizes abundance, harvest, and prosperity (due to its many seeds and round shape).
  • The "Dun" (Pier) Shape: The word "Dun" implies a stone pier or block. It signifies that this walnut is squat, heavy, and extremely stableβ€”like a foundation stone.

[Why this pair (#NG-70) is a Collector's Choice?]

  • Massive Size: As noted on the label (4.3x4.6), this is a Large pair. At approx 46mm width, it offers a hand-filling experience that feels substantial and powerful ("The muscle car of walnuts").
  • Super "Meaty" Texture: The shell walls of the "Pumpkin" variety are notoriously thick. The ridges are rounded and fleshy, making them comfortable to squeeze without being sharp.
  • Distinct Segments: As seen in the top-down photos, the ridges radiate from the center like a star, creating beautiful separate "petals" or segments, just like a real pumpkin.

πŸ›‘οΈ Care Guide: How to protect your walnuts Walnuts are organic wood gems. They are alive and reacting to the environment.

βœ… DO:

  • Brush Often: Use a nanometer brush (included/recommended) to keep dust out of the deep ridges.
  • Clean Hands: Your natural oils are the best polish.
  • Rest Them: Let them adjust to your room temperature for 12 hours before playing.

❌ DON'T:

  • NO A/C or Heaters: Never leave them directly under an air conditioner or next to a heater. Sudden temperature shock causes cracks.
  • NO Water: Do not wash them with water. If they get wet, dry immediately.
  • NO Drops: They are dense and heavy, which makes them prone to chipping if dropped on hard tiles.
