Introduction to Southern Red Agate Southern Red Agate, anciently known as "Crimson Jade," possesses a fine and lustrous texture. Its mining was largely depleted during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, leading to a sharp increase in the price of antique Southern Red Agate. Ancient people utilized Southern Red Agate in traditional medicine, believed to nourish the heart and blood. Among the seven treasures of Buddhism, the "Crimson Pearl" (True Pearl) refers to Southern Red Agate. To clean Southern Red Agate, you can dissolve salt in water, soak, and then gently wipe the agate. Due to its origins from volcanic eruptions, some Southern Red Agate may exhibit natural cracks. While carving and polishing can minimize their appearance, they are often unavoidable (of course, uncracked Southern Red Agate exists, but at exorbitant prices, or as plastic imitations). Thus, the saying "No crack, no Southern Red Agate" is now in common circulation. There are many varieties of Southern Red Agate material. Among them, "persimmon red" is the most popular. If clear white spots are visible, it is considered "red and white" material, where red and white coexist. For example, the common red and white silkworm thread material, where the red and white are distinctly separated, is rare.
