Friends who like South Red Agate, I wonder if you have heard a legend about South Red Agate. According to legend, Aphrodite (Venus), the goddess of love and beauty, was sleeping in the shade of a tree. Her son eros secretly cut off her shining nails and flew into the sky with them in his hand. Cupid accidentally dropped his nails in the air, and the nails that fell to the ground turned into stones, that is, south red agate.

This is a beautiful legend given to it by people who love Nanhong. The South Red Agate mentioned in this paper is a unique agate in China, which was called "Red Jade" in ancient times. It has been loved by everyone since ancient times. There are already string ornaments of South Red Agate in the tombs of nobles in the Warring States Period, such as the ancient South Yunnan Red Ornament unearthed in Yunnan Museum and the first cup of South Red Agate in the Qing Dynasty in the Palace Museum in Beijing, which is even more exquisite. Its texture is natural, pure, smooth and delicate. People condense the pursuit of pure love in their inner world as a token of pure emotion, so people think that South Red can strengthen love and that South Red Agate is a symbol of love and hope.

South Red Agate has the color inherited from China since ancient times, representing the real China Red! It is auspicious, which not only symbolizes the majesty of Buddhism, but also embodies the will of the gods. Nanhong's utensils are more important as Buddhist ritual vessels (respectfully called the seven treasures of Buddhism). South red agate was used as medicine by the ancients to nourish the heart and replenish blood, which Buddhists believe has special effects.

Compared with Hetian jade and jadeite, South Red Agate is a rising star, but it has formed a tripartite confrontation with Hetian jade and jadeite, which is the most representative and cultural feature of Chinese jewelry.

The typical southern red agate is mainly produced in Yunnan, and the most representative area is Agate Mountain in Baoshan City. Xu Xiake once recorded: "Its color is white and red, but it is not very big, just like a fist, and this is also a vine." This is the South Red Agate. Secondly, South Red Agate is also produced in Gansu, Sichuan and other places, usually called "Gannan Red".

At present, there are few jewelry ornaments made of fine south red agate in the world, and there are few good old south red agate stones in stock. With the discovery of high-quality south red agate mine in Liangshan, Sichuan, the collection-level south red agate works have returned to the collection circle, which has also attracted many businesses to intervene in the operation. These factors are bound to increase the collection value of South Red Agate.
