"Nanhong" is a kind of red agate produced in southwest China, which is colorful, moist and full of vitality. It is a kind of jade material with thousands of years of application history. The ancients called agate red Qiong (red Qiong originally meant ruby). South red agate, which can reach the standard of bright color and few cracks, has a low yield. The royal family and Buddhists in China have always been obsessed with collecting Nanhong.

Question 2: What is the material of Nanhong? Hello.
South red agate, called "Ruby" in ancient times, is delicate and oily. It is endemic to China, and its yield is scarce.
South red agate is a medicinal material used by the ancients to nourish the heart and replenish blood. Buddhists think there are special effects. The red pearl (true pearl) in the seven treasures of Buddhism refers to the south red agate. The key point of its feature identification is to put the south red agate under strong light. Looking under the strong light, we can see that the red color of South Red Agate is the red color formed by countless cinnabar spots, which is not found in other agates. If the very red south red agate cannot be penetrated by light, this identification method is not applicable. With the development of geological exploration and the discovery of new veins, the south red agate in the market is mainly new mines in Baoshan, Yunnan and Liangshan, Sichuan.
I hope the answer can help you.
Question 3: What's the difference between South Red Agate from different producing areas? Hello, I am in a beautiful world!
Nanhong is divided into Baoshan Nanhong in Yunnan, Liangshan Nanhong in Sichuan, Diebu Nanhong in Gansu, Jinsha River Basin Nanhong and South Africa Nanhong abroad.
1, Baoshan Nanhong, Yunnan:
Baoshan mountain material Nanhong has fine and dense texture, opaque material and good grease feeling. The characteristic of raw materials is that most of them are broken blocks.
It belongs to igneous rocks, and the red color in southern Yunnan is gorgeous, but the tone is gloomy. The surface is easy to have a foggy structure and looks like a thin paste. Moreover, the fog in the foggy structure tends to rely on white tones rather than red tones, which is more similar to gouache pigments.
Pink, pink, orange, vermilion, Zhen Hong, crimson, maroon and so on.
2, Sichuan Liangshan Nanhong:
Fine texture, dense, slightly oily, and strong sense of cracking.
Liangshan Nanhong was formed by volcanic eruption and high temperature burning, belonging to volcanic Nanhong, which was collected from sedimentary rocks. The original stone is round and looks like a potato. (Nicknamed Nanhong Egg, Volcano Egg)
According to the color, it can be divided into brocade red, rose red, cinnabar red and red and white.
3. South Red in Diebu, Gansu:
Gannan red is pure in color, bright in color and narrow in color gamut, usually between orange red and big red, with a few crimson. The probability of fog structure is small.
Both the red part and the white core have a better sense of weight and richness, which is relatively similar to watercolor pigments.
4. Nanhong in Jinsha River Basin;
Nepal, southern Qinghai and the Jinsha River-Yangtze River basin represented by Yichang also produce Nanhong.
5. South African agate "Africa South Red":
Most of them are frozen hearts, white, gray and black-gray. Heart-shaped colors are burgundy, pink, pink, and some are wrapped in white silk, which is permeable. Even if you don't look at the water naturally under the flashlight, the phenomenon is very obvious.
When the interior is polished, it can be seen that it is similar to cinnabar spots and textures, but it is still obviously different from Lianhe and Baoshan. The cinnabar spots in Lianhe and Baoshan are very grainy, while the cinnabar of "Africa South Red" is like a floating fog, like a tiny silk thread. Compared with Baoshan and Lianhe materials, there are far fewer cracks.
Question 4: What does Nanhong Mixture mean? The name of South Red Agate comes from the abbreviation of "Yunnan Baoshan Red Agate". Although Baoshan, Yunnan is the most famous producing area of Nanhong, most of the Nanhong agates currently on the market come from Sichuan. The south red agate mixture we are going to talk about today is also from Sichuan.
From the origin, the South Red Agate mixture should belong to Liangshan Agate, because it is the South Red material from Lianhe Township, Liangshan, Sichuan, but it is specially called the mixture because of its very special characteristics. The color of the material is different from that of Liangshan material. The colors of Liangshan Nanhong are persimmon red, rose red and brocade red. And the color of the south red agate in the combined area is cherry red. In addition, the composite material is more transparent and has an avatar, but it also has shortcomings. It is difficult to produce large stone materials, almost all of which are small materials, and it is difficult to carve large stones.
Question 5: What is the significance of South Red Agate? First of all, South Red Agate has a natural stunning red color, which makes it full of fantastic artistic conception. People always regard the bright colors, dazzling colors and deep luster of South Red Agate as sacred representatives. The use of south red agate can not only symbolize the majesty of Buddhism, but also show the will of the gods, so it is naturally regarded as sacred and inviolable in religion.
Secondly, the texture of South Red Agate is smooth, natural and pure, which will make people pin their inner desire for pure love on South Red Agate stone, so it is also regarded as a token of pure emotion.
In addition, the South Red Agate is delicate and pure, and its natural texture can best explain love, symbolizing the purity and eternity of love, which makes people place their desire for love on the South Red Agate stone as a token of pure emotion. People regard this great natural treasure as a spiritual treasure, which is used to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and place their wishes and hopes for a better life.
Question 6: What's the difference between Nanhong and Ruby? Hello, except the red element, the other elements are different in chemical meaning, physical meaning and processing method.
Question 7: What is the difference between South Red Agate and Warring States Red Agate?
1. Scarcity South Red Agate and Warring States Red Agate belong to agate. Due to the lack of resources in Nanhong Mine, especially the original Nanhong Mine has disappeared, which is very rare. The red agate in the Warring States period belongs to the old agate, which is not only red, but also grayish white, so the red agate in the Warring States period is relatively rare and of high value. In recent years, some new mineral sources have been discovered in South Red Agate, mainly in Yunnan, which is cheaper than Red Agate in Warring States, but higher in appearance.
2. Color difference The red agate in the Warring States period is red and yellow with black, white and brown. Rich and pure color, red, bright red; Yellow, dazzling yellow. And there are obvious color transitions, which are very natural and smooth. The natural red agate in the Warring States period is delicate and moist in texture and bright in color. South red agate has a much wider range, such as brocade red, persimmon red, rose red and so on.
3. Compared with the red agate of the Warring States, the south red agate is of course the red agate of the Warring States, but due to its scarcity, it is still necessary to collect it with great fanfare. At present, the south red agate, which is popular in the market and acceptable to everyone, is also of great collection value. Especially in recent years, the value of Nanhong has increased by hundreds of times, and the future momentum is good.

Question 8: What's the difference between South Red Agate and Emerald? Is south red agate jade? Nanhong is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, which was called ruby in ancient times and jade itself. Our ancient ancestors polished those rare and beautiful stones into exquisite decorations or sacred objects to worship the gods in the complicated nature. From the archaeological discoveries of later generations, we all call these beautiful stones jade. If "the beauty of stone is called jade", then Nanhong naturally meets the requirements of jade.
Jade is a unique concept created by China for thousands of years, and it is one of the most typical representatives of China culture. Chinese jade culture has a history of 8000 years and profound connotation, which is closely related to China culture. Pursuing the original intention of writing, jade is interpreted as "jade is the beauty of stone" in the most authoritative classic Shuo Wen Jie Zi, which means jade is a beautiful stone.
In fact, whether Nanhong is a jade or not is also introduced in "Is Nanhong Agate a Jade or a Gem", and too many explanations may not have real value. Appreciate Nanhong, which is as moist and delicate as Hetian suet jade and as clear and transparent as jade. What does it matter whether it is called agate or ruby, which is China people's favorite red?
Question 9: What is South Red Horse and what is the material of South Red Agate? What is South Red Agate? South red agate is the most valuable agate because of its rarity, particularity and characteristics. Named after the place of origin, the specific place of origin is biased towards Yunnan. Refers to the red agate produced in southwest China, which is naturally formed without artificial processing, and is called South Red Agate. Most of the agates on the market now are southern red agates from Liangshan, Sichuan.
South red agate material: the results of South red agate are generally dense and firm. Most agate stems that are not affected by acid and alkali can scratch flowers on glass plates, while some fake Nanhong are very loose, fragile and light.
Question 10: What is south red and south red agate, called "ruby" in ancient times, with fine and oily texture? It is a unique variety in China, and its output is scarce, so the price of Laonan red agate has soared. South red agate was used as medicine by the ancients to nourish the heart and replenish blood, which Buddhists believe has special effects. The red pearl (true pearl) in the seven treasures of Buddhism refers to the south red agate. Today's South Red Agate has formed a tripartite confrontation with Hetian jade and jadeite.
