3 thoughts on “How high is the collection value of Nanhong agate”

  1. Collection value

    according to experts, the term "southern Red Agate" has not been popular for a long time, at least in the 1990s. The definition and context of southern red are very complex. Some say it is Yunnan red agate, and some say it is southern red agate. However, northern provinces such as Gansu also have southern red. Its time was defined from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Most of them are beads or bead like. Nowadays, the price of Nanhong in the market is the highest among all kinds of agate, and it is often counterfeited

    the market of Nanhong agate continues to rise. Due to the extremely low output and the fact that there was no ore as early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were very few top-grade products in the market. Nanhong agate collection and investment have great potential

    Red has the meaning of happiness and auspiciousness in China, because it is not only a color, but also a kind of sustenance for Chinese people's good wishes. At the same time, some superstitious people think that red can protect their masters from evil kneeling spirits, so red is very popular in China. Therefore, for the red southern red agate, many people agree with it and think that collecting southern red agate is a mascot, This has led to an increase in the price of southern red agate

    in March 2011, Beijing International Jewelry Trading Center held the first high-level exhibition of Nanhong agate in China. With the theme of "rare treasure, the return of Nanhong", the exhibition showed the world the ever-increasing collection and investment boom of Nanhong agate. The South Red Agate is very popular in the jewelry and art market and the antique market, and the superior old agate with better color is even more popular. Sometimes even with money, you may not be able to buy a good agate

    the typical southern red agate is mainly produced in Yunnan, and the most representative area is the agate mountain in Baoshan City. Xu Xiake once recorded that "the moon is white and red, but they are not very big. They are just like fists, and their vines are also like this." he said that it was the southern red agate. Secondly, South Red Agate is also produced in Gansu, Sichuan and other places, which is often called "Gannan red". Jewelry ornaments made of top-grade Nanhong agate are rare in the world, and the stock of good old Nanhong agate stones is also small. All these factors are destined to increase the collection value of Nanhong agate day by day

    the price of ordinary agate beads may be 30-50 yuan, while the price of each old Nanhong Agate Bead is about 300-400 yuan, while some top-grade old Nanhong agate beads can only be bought for thousands of yuan. Experts suggest that persimmon red, cinnabar red, rose red and other colors can be preferred for collection, which are the superior colors of Nanhong agate. Value recognition: in terms of color, it can be seen that the color is transparent from inside to outside, and it is better to be relatively uniform. This kind of finished product or raw material is very rare. There are almost no cases of successful counterfeiting, unless the old materials and new workers pick out the best from the big or small materials. Those with good quality and uniform color are extremely rare, and the price is extremely high

    fake southern Red: Currently, there are additive and optimized southern red, as well as ordinary agate burning. The first one is very difficult to identify. The main feature is that the color is too uniform and perfect, and the material is usually flawless. More identification methods are not described here

    old finished products: the weathering lines of old products. Most of the old agate, especially the old chalcedony, will have wind erosion spots, and some will show half moon patterns or irregular stripes. Because of long-term use, the acidic substances secreted by the human body and external direct corrosive substances are used to accelerate the weathering and corrosion of the surface

    artificial old texture can be seen after zooming in, which requires experience

  2. At a jade carving auction held in Shencheng recently, the appreciation rate of the southern red carving was amazing. The transaction price of the pendant, which was originally only a few thousand yuan, exceeded 10000 yuan. For example, the price of a southern red carving Pendant reached 20000 yuan

    the southern red agate, which used to be the official pearl of the Qing Dynasty, has once again become the object of market pursuit. Because of its certain cultural connotation, concentrated origin and high ornamental value, northern buyers purchase middle and high-grade raw materials and semi-finished products in large quantities. At present, the price of Nanhong has increased by one time compared with that of one year ago, and has increased by a hundred times in 12 years. The rising speed of material price is far faster than that of finished product price, and the future market is still bullish. Nanhong is an exclusive high-grade agate produced in China, with bright colors and warm texture. Its main origin in history is Baoshan, Yunnan. At present, the price of ordinary South red beads has risen to 20 yuan per gram. The price of an old south red bead with good texture and appearance has exceeded 10000 yuan in the Guangdong market, and the price of ordinary old south red beads has also exceeded 1000 yuan

    the smoothness, compactness and color are the important basis for determining the value of Nanhong. High-grade Nanhong must have a warm and moist texture, a body like congealed fat, and a look and feel similar to nephrite. It is not only soft and moist, with moisture, but also has a certain degree of transparency. The edges are tinged with light halo. It is as warm as jade, which is also a prominent feature of Nanhong different from ordinary agate. The latter is bright and lustrous, and its luster is not so moist. At the same time, good Nanhong has fine, solid and fine texture, with few cracks and defects. Again, color is also an important factor determining the value of Nanhong. Similar to chicken blood stone, Nanhong is distinguished by its true red (also known as brocade red), followed by its subtle and steady rose red, persimmon red, and pumpkin red. However, the color should also be combined with the degree of moisture. Although it is red, it is not moist, and its collection value is not high

    with the rising price of Nanhong agate, counterfeiting and substitutes of Nanhong agate can be seen everywhere in the market. Some South Red Agate original stones contain high iron elements and will turn red after heating, but most of them do not have this condition. Therefore, they need to be soaked with the second iron nitrate or the first iron oxide solution for one month, then soaked with sodium nitrate for about two weeks, dried, and then heated for acid treatment to turn them red. When the dyed Nanhong agate is observed under a high-power magnifying glass, it can be seen that the color is distributed in a network along the interspace between the crystals. It has a strong glass sense and no special fat sense of Nanhong

    glue injection is also an optimization method of Nanhong. The original stone injected with glue is easy to identify. There is a layer of transparent inclusions in the outer layer, with small bubbles between them. It is difficult to recognize the carved Jiaonan red with naked eyes. Careful observation will reveal transparent lines as thin as silk inside. Usually, this transparent line is relatively straight, and the range of penetration is generally long, even through the whole. This kind of transparent linear texture is different from the natural texture in southern red, which is produced after filling

    it is worth noting that artificial color burning has a long history in the optimization of southern red agate, and it is also difficult to identify. As the burnt red agate is processed by using some light colored agates, this kind of agate does not have the unique greasy and moist characteristics of the southern red agate, so the red of the burnt red agate is dark and opaque, and the color is floating on the surface and unnatural, which is obviously different from the Southern red agate in sense. The identification of Nanhong depends on the accumulation of experience over time. Collectors can only have sufficient identification ability after watching more boutiques
