Introduction to Meigu Nanhong Agate

Liangshanzhou Agate is a newly discovered Nanhong Agate ore. Meigu agate has become the object of pursuit for rare stone players and a valuable collectible. From as far away as Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen, to as close as Chengdu, Xichang, and surrounding counties and cities, many wealthy collectors of rare stones gathered to negotiate and purchase without fear of the distance. Some rare stone collectors were afraid of conflicts with local collectors and decided to rent houses in nearby Xichang City and Zhaojue County to make purchases, engaging in a protracted battle. Liangshanzhou agate is a newly discovered Nanhong agate ore in recent years. Currently, Meigu agate has become a sought after and valuable collectible among rare stone players

Nanhong agate is one of the most effective gemstones, which effectively regulates the digestive system and intestines, balances positive and negative energy, and eliminates mental tension and stress. Maintaining physical and mental harmony enhances love and loyalty, while also inspiring courage and making people confident and resolute

Gather wealth, ward off evil, nourish the heart and blood

Nanhong agate has a delicate texture and is a unique variety in China. Its production is rare, and it was already exhausted during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so the price of Nanhong agate rises sharply every year. Nanhong agate was used by ancient people as medicine to nourish the heart and blood. People who believe in Buddhism believe that it has special effects. The red bead (true bead) in the Seven Treasures of Buddhism refers to the Southern Red Agate. The key to identifying the characteristics of Nanhong agate is to place it close to strong light. When viewed in front of strong light, it can be seen that the red color of Nanhong agate is formed by the aggregation of countless cinnabar dots, which is a characteristic that other agates do not possess. If the Nanhong agate is very red and cannot be penetrated by light, this identification method is not applicable

The application history of Nanhong agate is long. Nanhong agate ornaments have already been found in the tombs of Warring States nobles unearthed. For example, the Yunnan Museum has unearthed Nanhong ornaments from the ancient Dian Kingdom period, and the Qing Dynasty Nanhong agate phoenix head cup in the Beijing Palace Museum is even more exquisite. It is a physical material for studying Nanhong agate products, Nanhong agate carvings, and palace polished jade, and has very important historical and artistic value. It has been designated as a national first-class cultural relic. From these collections, it can be seen that the Southern Red Army has been highly valued throughout history and is also a rare and precious material

The remaining history is almost familiar to every fan of Nanhong, as Nanhong has officially stepped onto the stage of Tibet as a substitute for deep-sea red coral. Due to the fact that all the red corals used in the Tibetan region are so-called branched corals, only produced in the Japan Strait and Taiwan Strait, the relative difficulty of trade and the preciousness of the coral material itself determine that red corals are only luxury items belonging to the upper echelons of the Tibetan region, and the vast Tibetan people also need these red symbols. Therefore, Nanhong truly entered the historical stage in the form of bulk products and became a personal accessory for many believers. This situation ended as early as the late Qing Dynasty, accompanied by the depletion of the Nanhong mineral deposits that we usually believe were in the late Qing Dynasty, and the production of Nanhong beads basically came to an end

The color of Nanhong agate is generally dominated by red, with colors such as persimmon red, bright red, pink, purple red, etc. Nowadays, the production of Nanhong agate is decreasing, and basically some of the Nanhong agate that can be bought are antique types with very high prices. So, how do we distinguish this extremely rare and precious South Red Agate? Firstly, let's take a look at the color. The pattern of Nanhong agate is relatively clear, and there is no powdery or mixed color in the middle of the pattern. However, fake Nanhong agate will show some burn marks at the crack, which is actually quite easy to see. Moreover, fake South Red Agate is mostly in bright red color, but we know that now bright red South Red Agate is very rare

It is true that when touched, Nanhong agate is particularly smooth and natural. When exposed to light, it has a translucent characteristic. Nanhong agate is a gelatinous form, which means that even fully red Nanhong agate will not be translucent, and even colorless Nanhong agate will not be very transparent and will have a hazy feeling
