Features
*   Shape: Dwarf (short) and heart-shaped like a peach. The top is a rounded point, with large, outward-curving sides (wide edges), a round and plump belly, and a flat bottom with a small, round navel.
*   Size: Natural specimens are mostly small, often under 40mm. Easy to hold even for those with small hands.
*   Pattern: Shallow and neat reticulated pattern, with gentle undulations that do not prick the hand and are easy to clean.
*   Material: Natural wax skin (waxy crystal skin), with a delicate and smooth texture. Rich in oil and dense, making it resistant to cracking.
*   Aging: Develops color quickly, changing from light pink to orange-red, and finally to a translucent deep red like agate. It gains luster within six months and becomes jade-like (translucent) within a year.

Value and Popularity
With its round and cute form, this variety is very popular among women and beginners. Originally rare and valuable, it is now relatively affordable due to the widespread adoption of grafting.
