What is the difference between Southern Red Agate and Salt Source Agate? How to distinguish better?

Southern red agate. How is it different from salt source agate? How to distinguish better?

Southern red agate and red agate are actually very differentiated. Red agate often appears in stalls, tourist areas, or some **stores are used to match**, etc., it can be seen that it is difficult for red agate to become the protagonist, or the place where it becomes the protagonist is not a high-end atmosphere, so as soon as you say it, you know that the value of red agate is not high.

We must first look at this matter from the traditional aesthetic concept of the Chinese. We have inherited the Confucian culture for many years.

In China, what has always been paid attention to is that jade is beautiful, gentlemen are like jade, beauties are like jade, virtue is like jade, anyway, all good things are like jade. Although the southern red agate is classified as a member of the agate family, its jade is much stronger than that of ordinary red agate.

In fact, if it is a natural red agate, it will not have such a low status. This kind of red agate is actually not a natural color, using non-red agate or light agate to make it turn red by high temperature and other processes, it is a burnt red agate made by using the iron-containing minerals in agate after high temperature.

How can you tell the difference? The red-hot red agate is all transparent, and each one is basically the same length. And the southern red agate is different from each one, just use this method, plus look at my picture is basically able to judge, in addition, the southern red agate ** hundreds to hundreds of thousands, and red agate at most dozens, the occasional tourist area may be a few hundred?

It's not expensive anyway.

In fact, even if you look at ancient books or Qing court dramas with a relatively high degree of restoration, it is not difficult for us to find out. In ancient times, when all agate was low-yielding and precious, it was still the southern red agate as a pearl to represent the orthodox image, and the red agate was rewarded as a jewelry.

What's more, now the output of red agate is more than that of southern red agate, I don't know how many times, so the gap between southern red agate and red agate is also further widened.

What is the difference between Southern Red Agate and Salt Source Agate? How to distinguish better?

The shape of the Yanyuan agate rough is very similar to that of the Sichuan Nanhong rough, and most of them are egg-shaped. However, its jade material is generally cracked, and the interior is mixed with dirty color, etc., so more attention should be paid to these problems when purchasing raw materials. In the purchase of finished products, the brighter the color, the richer, the higher the contrast, the purer and warmer the jade, and the more ingenious the combination of carving and jade, the higher the collection value.

Nanhong was called "red jade" in ancient times. Its body is like coagulated fat, restrained essence, thick and moist, and the texture is delicate. Among them, Baoshan Nanhong was mined in ancient times and used as royal jade.

In fact, Nanhong also occupies an important position in China's traditional jade culture. Therefore, Nanhong also has traditional cultural value. Structural differences:

Speaking of culture, in fact, it can not fully reflect the difference between agate and Nanhong, but structurally speaking, the difference between agate and Nanhong is still quite big, although the jade nature of Nanhong is basically the same as that of chalcedony, but Nanhong has cinnabar points that cannot be imitated. Texture difference: Nanhong, as jade, of course, has the texture of jade, its moistness and fineness are higher than ordinary agate, with a strong gelatinous texture, smooth and creamy, thick and charming, belonging to nephrite, and agate is glassy.

In fact, the burnt color agate was not used to pass off as the southern red agate at the beginning, but to pass off the ordinary red agate, because the south red is too hot, ** is higher, so that the burnt color agate is closer to the south red, becoming the hardest hit area of fakes. Burnt agate is usually heated from turquoise agate, which contains ferric ions, so it appears green, and after later firing, the ferric iron example becomes ferric ions, and the color changes from turquoise to red.

In fact, it is not very difficult to distinguish between southern red agate and ordinary agate, and it is easy to distinguish the difference between the two if you play and observe carefully for a long time, but for newcomers to master a certain amount of knowledge, plus actual contact can also distinguish the difference between the two.
