Natural Nanhong Agate: Nanhong agate is a mineral formed during volcanic eruptions. Due to the impact of high temperature and pressure, Nanhong agate inevitably develops cracks during its formation. Hence, some say, "No crack, no Nanhong." As the old saying goes, "Nine out of ten Nanhong have cracks," so Nanhong with cracks is not necessarily inferior. Our carefully selected products are of high quality, and we strive to exclude raw materials with poor quality or significant flaws. However, some hairline cracks, layers, small dots, or minor cracks that are part of the natural pattern or formed by the pattern itself are not considered defects. We hope our customers understand. Natural Nanhong agate is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, possessing the power to ward off evil and protect the wearer. It is also one of the most health-benefiting gemstones. Agate contains natural minerals, and wearing Nanhong jewelry for extended periods can nourish the internal organs, calm the spirit, and enhance beauty, offering significant health benefits. **Red and White Nanhong Agate** Refers to Nanhong agate that is half red and half white, a color category within Nanhong agate. The white part of red and white Nanhong agate presents a milky white color, unlike transparent "frozen" material. Another characteristic of red and white Nanhong is the distinct boundary between the red and white parts, which do not blend into each other. It is often used by carvers for ingenious designs. Nanhong Agate Ice-Floating Material: Known as the "Poem of Ice and Fire," this material features a translucent, ice-like agate base speckled with cinnabar dots or cloudy red patterns. Top-grade ice-floating material is as clear and lustrous as cold jade infused with blood, with light and shadow playing to blend red and white as if capturing the dawn glow within a glacier. For every thousand tons of raw stones from the mine, only a few kilograms of pure, flawless ice-floating material can be selected. Furthermore, due to the natural distribution of cinnabar dots, each bead becomes a unique, unrepeatable piece. With dwindling mine sources in recent years, its collection value has become even more apparent. Ancient people regarded Nanhong as "crimson jade," symbolizing great fortune, warding off evil, and bringing blessings. The unique clear texture of ice-floating material is further endowed with the elegant meaning of "auspiciousness hidden in ice." As a mineral formed during volcanic eruptions, the impact of high temperature and pressure inevitably causes cracks during its formation. Hence, the saying: "No crack, no Nanhong." Due to its over thirty trace elements and natural magnetic field, it can promote microcirculation when in contact with the skin, aligning with traditional Chinese medicine's wisdom of "crimson jade nourishing the heart." The exceptionally smooth and cool touch of high-grade ice-floating material can bring a touch of the soul of a snow-capped mountain's coolness and Zen to the wrist, especially in the summer heat. **Fish and Lotus** A red fish leaps into Nanhong's blush, Splitting the jade-like white into half a bloom of ice. You are the unfading cream on the lotus, I am the cinnabar yet to fade in the stone. Fins brush against cherry-colored waves, Picking up a string of ice-floating incantations— "May water always nourish, may years be full of flowers." Silver beads descend, Amethyst buds form, The light of "abundance year after year" gleams. Passing through the curtain of lychee-frozen jade, We swim into a legend within the chain. **Craftsmanship Process** The pendant is carved from natural red and white Nanhong agate, shaped like a warm, smooth pebble with full, soft contours. The front ingeniously uses the red and white colors: a white lotus blooms from the jade-like material in the lower right, its petals layered and detailed, as lifelike as jade. The red part is rich like cherry, full of color and substance, bright and dazzling, encircling the lotus base like crimson silk. A koi fish gracefully swims down from the upper left, its body curved like a bow, its tail gently swaying, partially embracing the lotus. The fish's tail and scales are finely carved, its posture agile, with a natural transition at the red and white boundary, highlighting the exquisite carving. The back features subtle line decorations, topped with a full-colored, substantial Nanhong round bead, fiery red and densely lustrous, echoing the main pendant. The necklace is strung with old-style ice-floating Nanhong beads, clear as water frozen into ice marks, interspersed with small amethyst round beads, deep purple like the first touch of twilight. At the clasp is a 10mm "Hong Yun Dang Tou" (Good Fortune Arrives) ice-floating bead, its red hue like drifting clouds, symbolizing auspicious luck. Small carved lotus beads made of rosewood are subtly placed among them, with a simple yet meaningful carving on the warm, rustic wood. The chain is finished with a lychee-frozen Nanhong bead at the end, white as snow, further adorned with ice-floating and amethyst beads, with delicate silver floral clasps. The entire necklace features finely selected materials, with striking color contrasts, a tapestry woven from red, white, purple, and silver. Nanhong agate is moist and lustrous, warm to the touch, and enhances the skin's glow when worn. The ice-floating beads are like ice after thawing, while the amethyst beads are deep and noble, imbued with a pure spiritual essence. The "fish playing in the lotus pond" motif traditionally symbolizes "abundance year after year," as well as harmonious relationships and serene freedom. The red fish leaps with vitality, the white lotus stands pure and unstained, representing the harmony of movement and stillness, yin and yang. Nanhong itself is a stone of fortune and longevity, said to nourish qi and blood and calm the mind; amethyst is also believed to contain the earth's energy, aiding in focus and clarity. Although the carving is exquisite, manual traces may still be visible in some details, showcasing the unique craftsmanship. The entire piece possesses the elegance of jade carving and the brilliance of fine jewelry, maintaining its style even for daily wear. This fish and lotus can accompany you like a fish in water, with a heart as open as a lotus flower. It is like a summer breeze passing through red lotuses and clear water, capturing a poetic stream of light around your neck. **Specifications** Natural Red and White Nanhong Agate Fish and Lotus Carving: Approx. 35mm x 31mm x 18.6mm Natural Full-Color, Full-Substance Nanhong Round Bead: Approx. 7mm Natural Ice-Floating Nanhong Round Bead: Approx. 10mm Natural Ice-Floating Nanhong Old-Style Bead: Approx. 8.3mm x 7.5mm Natural Amethyst Round Bead: Approx. 4mm Natural Lychee-Frozen Round Bead: Approx. 6mm Natural Rosewood Carved Lotus Bead: Approx. 8mm Other Accessories: Sterling Silver Floral Clasp **Purchase Notice** All main and auxiliary materials for this product are selected from natural sources.
