Everyone knows that Nanhong Agate has a delicate texture and is a unique species in China. Its production is scarce. It has been exhausted during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the price of Laonan red agate rises every year. For this reason, South Red Agate is very popular. There are more and more people collecting South Red Agate. So, what is the difference between South Red Agate and ordinary red agate? How can we better distinguish them? Today, Xiaobian will tell you about some of the basic characteristics of South Red Agate, so that everyone has an understanding of this.
What are the differences between South Red Agate and ordinary red agate?
First of all, for the light, it is best to have a strong light, you can see that there are countless cinnabar points inside. The picture shows the contrast between the south red agate and the strong light, which is unique to the South Red Agate.
Look at the texture, the color texture of the South Red Agate is colloidal, which is not available in other agates, but now there is mining South Red Agate in Yunnan, but the mining inside is different from the ancient mining, the gel is very bad. . (As shown in the beads, the gel texture is very strong, and the second gel is obviously not so strong)
If the color is very deep, the light transmission is not so strong, we can see the permeability, with strong light, the South Red Agate is gelatinous, the light is very transparent, a very strong sense of guilt.
Another difference is the origin. The south red agate is the agate produced in the Nanhong area. It is now the southern Yunnan of Yunnan, and there are many other areas. It is necessary to carefully distinguish the texture. The southern red agate is the old south red. Long-term use will form weathering lines, ice cracks, etc.
Some characteristics of South Red Agate
ã€color】
South red agate. The common colors are persimmon yellow in Gansu. (orange red), red, pink. There are also unusual purple, and the transparent or translucent color of these colors, including the transparent and colorless, all roughly It is defined as the color scale of South Red. The color of the animal's first agate cup is white. The texture like a ribbon is also half and half of the white and red. Here, the texture of Nanhong is very sharp, all the lines. There will be obvious angles when turning, (one of the important criteria for judging) gives a feeling of cleanliness. (That is to say red and white!) Nanhong, except for the color of the white, the red is gradually changing from transparent to transparent. There will be no other changes, (sometimes there will be some associated minerals, black or turquoise).
[Texture]
On the texture, Nanhong is a gelatinous texture. Even if the red beads are not opaque, it can be seen that the color is transparent from the inside to the outside, which is consistent. Conversely, even the colorless beads have a kind of flaws. Feeling, here, note that this texture is temporarily unpreparable, unless the old material is new. So the fake South Red is basically pure red.
[Weathering pattern]
On the outer appearance of the beads, most of the old beads, especially the old chalcedony/agate beads will have a half-moon-shaped weathering pattern. This kind of grain is mainly due to the long-term use. The beads and other valuable valuable old beads have appeared in the new imitation. The weathered lines made by the tapping, but it is obvious that the surface powder and the water-fermented pulp do not match, and the size is uniform, dull, and the texture is dull (the crescent-shaped interior, the old weathered grain new moon has Glossy) But here, I noticed that the dyed Nanhong, which is produced in large quantities, has been weathered, and most of the cracks on the surface of the agate made by direct high-temperature burning.
[punch and hole]
The punching of the red agate is very unique. It may be double-sided punching and then beading (the hole will not be small). After a long time of use, the hole wear is very smooth. South red agate, the name itself is a mystery, no one knows exactly when Nanhong's title originated.
[finished shape and patina]
In terms of shape, the south red material is small, and the uniform color is smaller. Therefore, all the big ones will be used as ornaments, and the small ones will be used for beads or pendants. In addition to pendants, common olive-shaped pieces, positive beads, drum-shaped beads, barrel-shaped beads, wheel beads, abacus beads, melon beads, septa, drop-shaped beads (droppers), mostly round beads, also have Various carvings made by the block.
The above introduces how to distinguish between the South Red Agate and some characteristics of the South Red Agate. I believe that everyone has mastered the difference between the two!
