Nanhong is oneSilicaminerals, of different originsSouthern red agateAvailable in different textures and colors.

Southredagate is a species of agate, known as "red jade" in ancient times, with a delicate and oily texture, which is unique to China. Due to the scarcity of production, southern red agate** has risen sharply. Southern red agate was once used by the ancients as medicine to nourish the heart and blood.

History

The application of southern red agate has a long history, and there are already charms of southern red agate in the unearthed tombs of the nobles of the Warring States period, such as the ancient Dian Kingdom in the collection of the Yunnan Museum.

Unearthed southern red ornaments of the period, the Palace Museum in Beijing.

The collection of the Qing Dynasty Southern Red Agate Phoenix Cup is even more exquisite, which is the study of Southern Red Agate products, Southern Red Agate carvings, etc.

The physical materials of the palace jade have very important historical and artistic value, and are designated as national first-class cultural relics.

From these collections, it can be seen that all dynasties have attached great importance to Nanhong, and it is also a very rare and precious material.

The ancients used it as medicine to nourish the heart and blood. People who believe in Buddhism believe that it has special effects. The red pearl (true pearl) in the Seven Treasures of Buddhism refers to the southern red agate.

The key point of its characteristic identification is to put the southern red agate close to the strong light, and it can be seen that the red of the southern red agate is the red formed by the aggregation of countless cinnabar points, which is not possessed by other agate, if the very red southern red agate, the light is not transparent, this identification method is not applicable. With the development of geological exploration and the discovery of new ore veins, the southern red agate on the market is mainly new ore in Baoshan, Yunnan and Liangshan, Sichuan. Under "Shenghao Jewelry", they do this professionally.

I bought it in **, it's pretty good, really.

Nanhong is a silica mineral made of agate. Nanhong is a precious agate, a silica mineral, which is produced in Yunnan, Sichuan, Gansu and other places in China. Due to the different origins, southern red agate also exhibits different textures and colors.

The most precious southern red agate is brocade red, the color is red like brocade and evenly distributed, and the texture is warm and delicate.

Introduction

Nanhong is mainly produced in Daliangshan in southern Sichuan, and Baoshan in Yunnan is also produced, but Baoshan material is not a gem-grade ore due to many fragmentations, and gem-quality ores are mainly produced in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan.

The colors of southern red include brocade red, persimmon red, rose red, cinnabar red, cherry red, red and white material, red red material, etc. Among them, the most traditional persimmon red, rare rose red, and brocade red, which tends to be red, are all high-grade colors.

1. Jin Hong. It is a rare existence among the many reds of Nanhong, mainly red and bright red, which looks high-end and atmospheric, but due to the different origins, there are subtle differences in color.

Baoshan's brocade red jade has a good texture, plump flesh, giving people a fresh and bright feeling, and the whole looks lively; The brocade red of Liangshan is stable and vigorous, similar to the red color of the traditional brocade, and it grows with persimmon red. If Baoshan brocade is attributed to the small jasper, then Liangshan's is more similar to everyone's ladies.

2. Persimmon red.

Persimmon red is a typical representative of the quality of southern red, and the overall preference is orange-red or orange-yellow. The red color of the persimmon of Baoshan is biased towards the color of the persimmon flesh of the tomato; The persimmon red in Liangshan is more biased towards the color of the persimmon skin.

3. Pepper red (Baoshan):

Pepper red is a kind of red unique to Baoshan, as long as it comes from the willow material, the color is more vivid than the persimmon red, similar to the color of ripe red pepper, and the jade texture and moistness are very good.

Maintenance precautions:

1. Nanhong products should avoid collisions with hard objects. Due to the greater hardness of southern red agate, it is easy to break when impacted, especially the hollow works are more likely to be damaged.

2. Cleaning of Nanhong. The surface of agate worn or left for long periods of time produces oil or dust. Dust should be cleaned with a soft bristle brush; The oil should be scrubbed with mild soapy water and then rinsed with clean water;

3. Nanhong should try to avoid direct sunlight or too cold and too hot to avoid damage caused by thermal expansion and contraction;

4. Try to avoid contact with chemical reagents and other items to avoid corrosion and affect its brightness and brightness.

The best of Nanhong is Baoshan Nanhong, and it is flawless, but due to the characteristics of Baoshan Nanhong, this kind of red is particularly rare, and it is almost invisible now.

Nanhong is a kind of silica burning bucket mineral, is a variety of jade, also known as red agate, there are brocade red, persimmon red, rose red, water red, ice drifting red, red and white material and other colors, bright color, delicate texture, hardness between, produced in Yunnan, Qinghai, Gansu and other places, low yield, high quality is very rare.

Nanhong is one of the varieties of jade, is a silica mineral, produced in Yunnan, Qinghai, Gansu and other places, also known as red agate, according to the color can be divided into brocade red, persimmon red, rose red, water red, ice drifting red, red and white material, etc., among which brocade red is the most precious.

There are many origins of Nanhong, according to the different origins can be divided into Baoshan Nanhong, Sichuan Nanhong, Gannan Nanhong, Jinsha Jiangnan Red and other varieties, according to different traits can also be divided into slurry Nanhong, Dunzi Nanhong, tightening Nanhong and other Nanhong four categories.

The color of Nanhong agate is bright and bright, the texture is delicate, the appearance is moist and thick, the hardness is similar to that of jadeite, between, suitable for carving and processing, and the forms of expression are diverse, but the yield of Nanhong is very low, and the high-quality Nanhong is very rare.

The origin of the name of Nanhong is generally believed to be related to its origin, and the main production areas of Nanhong are mainly Gansu, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces from a geographical point of view. In addition, Mongolia, Jinsha River Basin, Qinghai Province also have Nanhong rough stones.

The Nanhong mine in the Diebu area of Gansu Province has now been extinct and is known as "Gannanhong". Most of the so-called "old Nanhong" on the market belong to this category. Because it has been extinct, I won't go into detail here.

Originally, there was no name for Nanhong.

The ancients liked red agate, and originally agate only had the words "east red" and "west red".

Eastern red agate is not a natural agate, it is a kind of red agate, this agate process originated in Japan, after heating the natural iron-containing agate, the color becomes more red and bright, mainly by changing the color appearance of the agate to sell. The color of Donghong agate is more red after firing, but the hardness is low, the lack of gelatinous texture, there is not much collection value, and the market price is relatively low.

West red agate, refers to the natural agate of the mine, worthy of any artificial dyeing or processing of agate, ancient China unearthed agate mostly belongs to the west red agate, this kind of agate mostly from the West, the color is mostly dark red, there is also a small amount of bright red.

The origin of the name Nanhong.

Originally, there was no such thing as "Nanhong", and the origin of the name Nanhong is not far away, and there are currently two theories:

First, many people think that the court seat of Nanhong Agate is Baoshan, Yunnan, and later found in Liangshan, Sichuan, that the name "Nanhong" is roughly due to geographical relations. Yunnan and Sichuan both belong to southwestern China, and many people prefer to interpret it literally, i.e., "agate in the south", and the name has since been called out among players and markets.

Second, it is said that Nanhong was originally produced in Baoshan, Yunnan, so it was called "Yunnan Red", and later similar agate was found in the southern part of Gansu, and later people in the industry combined the two into one in order to simplify, referred to as "Nanhong".
