Take you into the South Red Agate

Nanhong Agate has recently become more and more worthy in the jewellery and jade market. The reason why Nanhong is precious is not only because of its scarcity of production, but also because of its natural red color. The Chinese people love red is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

1. About the origin of Nanhong At present, China's Nanhong origin is mainly in “Yunnan Baoshan” and “Sichuan Liangshan”, so the Nanhong market is generally divided into “Baoshan materials” and “Liangshan materials”. According to some claims, the deposit of agate in Baoshan, Yunnan Province, has gradually become scarce and the output is relatively low. Therefore, the price is also high among various materials. The so-called “persimmon red” that we see in the market is produced from the south. . Liangshan agate is a newly discovered Nanhong agate ore in recent years, because its color is rather oily and its color quality is deeper and deeper, and it is also widely loved by people.

2. The color of Nanhong is famous for its red color, but this red color is also divided into several types. In addition, there is a colorless red color in the color of Nanhong. The color of South Red can be divided into the following categories:

1. Jinhong: Jinhong is the most precious and its color is mainly red and red. It also includes persimmon red, which is known to everybody.

2. Rose-red: The color is relatively purple, purple, and the whole is purple. There is a certain amount of appearance in the Liangshan South Red Mine.

3. Cinnabar red: The red body can be clearly seen from the accumulation of cinnabar points, and some appear to have an approximate flame texture.

4. Red and white materials: The red color and white are accompanied by one another, among which the red and white are rare and can be used for carving.

5. Red material: It is a red material with a colorful texture based on the red color. Because the texture is similar to the red texture, it is called by the players as red.

6. Cherry Red: Mainly produced in Sichuan United Cherry Township, the joint material is transparent jade material, crystals are very delicate.

7. Pure white material: There is a red material with white as its main body, because its pure white is also known as red and white material by the players.

Third, the quality of Nanhong is good or bad. The quality of South Red can be measured from five keywords, namely, red, white, fine, smooth and even. Summarized can be divided into color, texture, carving and body mass. Regarding color, in general, in the case of the same or similar texture, the most precious of the red brocade is the calm red rose. Regarding the texture, a good South Red is a warm and lustrous. This texture is one of the important characteristics of South Red. Nanhong has a special sense of plasticity and heavy feeling, and is a jade texture. With regard to carving, if there is no elaborate carving by a craftsman, it is difficult for a piece of jade to show its true value. As one of the core indicators for evaluating Nanhong devices, the engraving process is sometimes more important than color. With regard to body mass, the collection-grade Nanhong definitely needs a certain amount of body mass. In the case of other indicators are excellent, the bigger the better, the rarer it is.
