This listing is for the exact pair shown in the high-definition photos. Stock ID XLBB-1201E is a remarkably rare and specialized pair of "Xinglong Dice" (Xing Long Tou Zi) walnuts featuring a highly coveted natural "Ban Bi" (Half-Wall) asymmetrical mutation. Meticulously matched for their flat-sided ergonomic profile and rugged, dice-like character. Ready for immediate shipping.
This specimen represents a fascinating natural departure from the standard dice-shaped walnuts of the Xinglong region.
The "Dice" Foundation: Known for their tall, boxy architecture and deep, pitted textures that resemble hand-carved gaming dice. Xinglong walnuts are famous for their extreme density and resonant sound.
The "Half-Wall" Mutation: During growth, one wall developed significantly flatter than the other, resulting in a distinct "D-shape" profile.
Ergonomic Leverage: Elite collectors prize Ban Bi mutations because the flat side rests flawlessly against the palm or fingers. This creates a specialized sliding and pressing mechanic that offers superior control and comfort compared to standard round or square varieties.
[Characteristics of XLBB-1201E]
The "Half-Moon" Profile: Measuring 29.0mm in width and 38.0mm in depth, this pair is defined by its flat-sided silhouette. This allows the shells to sit flush against the skin, making them exceptionally comfortable for long, mindful manipulation sessions.
Rugged Dice Texture: Despite the mutation, the surface retains the signature deep, rugged rippling and pitted folds of the Xinglong variety. It provides an intensive hand massage that targets acupressure points effectively.
Ultimate Pocket Comfort: The flat-sided mutation naturally reduces the overall width and bulk of the walnut. This makes the pair spectacularly slim and an ideal choice for Everyday Carry (EDC).
Resonant Bone Quality: Selected for high material density. These walnuts produce a clear, crisp porcelain ring and are primed to develop a rich, dark mahogany patina with a high-gloss finish.
