Nanhong beaded ornaments have been found in noble tombs dating back to the Warring States period. During the Qianlong era, Baoshan Nanhong was an exclusive tribute to the imperial family. Its legacy spans thousands of years. Nourishes the Heart. Guides the Soul. Nothing is more beautiful than communing with Nanhong. Tracing Back Through History Nanhong has always been a treasured possession among royalty and nobility. During the Qing Dynasty, Nanhong was even more highly valued, becoming the Nanhong court beads that signified status and prestige. Among the Seven Treasures of Tibetan Buddhism, the Crimson Bead refers to Nanhong. Devotees believe that Nanhong is an emanation of Padmasambhava, possessing wondrous merit through spiritual practice. Nanhong is a gemstone belonging to the agate family. Its texture is like congealed fat, with subtle internal luster, possessing a dense, warm, and smooth quality. Nanhong is far more than just ordinary agate. When interpreted correctly, authentic raw Nanhong is a type of agate with a prominent jade-like quality. Nanhong's Luminosity: A gel-like translucency superior to agate. Nanhong's Tactile Feel: A density and structure superior to agate. High-quality Nanhong exhibits a gel-like quality, whereas agate has a glassy texture. In recent auctions, a bangle of Baoshan Nanhong from Dishuidong, with full color and full substance, achieved a hammer price of over 40 million New Taiwan Dollars. The coloration of Nanhong is formed by the aggregation of cinnabar. The denser the cinnabar structure and the tighter the texture, the more vibrant the color becomes. There are three authentic primary sources: Waxi, Baoshan, and Liangshan. Color varieties include: Brocade Red, Rose Red, Cherry Red, Persimmon Red, Flame Red, Ice Drift Red, Red-and-White Material, Lychee Base, Ice Red, Yellow Material. Waxi Material: "Scarce as gold, true Waxi" Its most significant characteristic is its excellent jade-like nature. High-quality Waxi material possesses a superb gel-like translucency, with a sheep-fat luster. However, authentic origin material is extremely rare. Baoshan Material: "Flaws do not obscure its brilliance—no crack, no Baoshan" Cracks do not diminish its value; instead, they become an important characteristic for authentication. Compared to Liangshan, Baoshan Nanhong has higher luminosity, better substance, is not translucent under light, and often features multiple cracks. Its color becomes more beautiful after being worn and polished. Its output is limited, keeping market prices high. Cracks are my signature; please do not misunderstand my natural beauty. Liangshan Material: "Ice-clear, water-like, and condensed" One origin, Jiukou, is near a volcano. Jiukou material is considered a superior origin within the Liangshan region, a higher quality area. Its color and oiliness are excellent. It features "drift flowers" (inclusions) and mineral patterns, which are its characteristics. The following are agates commonly found in the market, which may be mistaken for Nanhong: African Red Agate Relatively watery texture, tendency towards black coloration, glassy texture. Mongolian Nanhong Heavy mineral texture, pronounced liver-like coloration. Central and South American Dyed Agate Treated/enhanced to achieve good coloration. Collecting a strand of authentic Eastern Nanhong Nourishes the heart, guides the soul. During the process of wearing and polishing, quietly observe the gradual enrichment of time. Peace and well-being. Simple and exquisite to wear, quality you can see. Captured in natural light, exceptionally beautiful in reality. Authenticity verification supported.
