Nanhong is a kind of red agate produced in southwest China, and it is a kind of jade material with thousands of years' application history. The ancients called red agate red Qiong red Qiong originally meant ruby. The output of south red agate, which can reach the standard of bright color and few cracks, has been very low. The royal family and Buddhists in China have always been obsessed with collecting Nanhong.
Valuable reason
The key to the preciousness of Nanhong lies in its natural red color. In addition, the scarcity of materials and extremely low output also make Nanhong even rarer. If the glass species of jadeite, the suet jade of Lu Wang and Tian Yu is the best jadeite.
Then the south red in agate is the brother jade that keeps pace with the above two kinds of jade. The hardness of Nanhong is similar to that of white jade and jadeite, ranging from 6.5 to 7 Mohs hardness. Suitable for carving processing, Nanhong has a strong momentum of catching up with jadeite and Hetian jade in investment, and the wealth effect is emerging.
