【Nanhong】 is deeply liked by Chinese, the reason why it is called "Nanhong" instead of "Northern Hong", "Sichuan Hong" is because its origin is in Baoshan, Yunnan. Nanhong, Hetian jade, jadeite are called "three treasures of the East" by Westerners. The history of Nanhong can be traced back to the Warring States period, reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, and later almost disappeared from the mine. In recent years, due to the emergence of Sichuan Liangshan Nanhong, Nanhong has returned to the public's vision, and there is a trend of becoming more and more expensive! It is worth money, of course, there will be no less counterfeiting. Today, I will share with you the Nanhong [these 4 big scams] for your reference! Remember to collect it!
1" with red turquoise or South African red impersonation.
If you take the red turquoise or South African red agate to impersonate, it is still not small to many people who play small white. In fact, they are only similar in color, unlike the light transmitted by the southern red light; and the red blue or south African red is stone, and to put it bluntly, it is a stony species. Remember to buy Nanhong, be sure to light the lamp! As shown in the following figure:
2" uses the agate roast color to impersonate the southern red.
Some agate is not very valuable. For example: gray agate, this agate has no agate line, there is no crack, first high temperature firing fading, and then baked color, it will be made into a flawless southern red, not only no crack, but also no color difference, the internal mechanism texture is still consistent. A yellow agate produced in Fushun, Northeast China, with a natural agate winding silk pattern, is even more difficult to distinguish after baking! The roasted color Nanhong has no value, but it can still be worn, at least it is not very harmful to the body.
Cinnabar red is a sign of authenticity
3" Quartzite is dyed to impersonate Nanhong.
Generally, it is pickled first, pickled and then dyed, and the way to identify is that there are usually small black circles in the location of the pores, which are caused by the accumulation of dyes. This dyeing of the southern red must not be worn, there are very toxic pigments in it are very unhealthy for the wearer's body. Dyeing is not as good as baking!
4" Talk about Nanhong's close relatives: Sichuan material, Mongolian material, Gansu material.
More than 10 years ago, everyone always thought that the southern red of the Inner Mongolia material was a fake material imitating the southern red, and now what? It is known as "Southern Red Mongolian Material". The trend of Nanhong is more and more like Hetian jade, and the Hetian jade in Xinjiang is slowly extending out, Russian material, Korean material, Qinghai material Hetian jade. Looking at this momentum, the southern red will extend from Baoshan south red to Liangshan south red, Mongolian south red, and Gansu south red. But remember, no matter where the material has the characteristics of the local origin, and the southern red of each origin has fine products. For example: the characteristics of Baoshan Nanhong: multi-cracked without large materials, but the color is full, oily, good light transmittance, and texture!
Hoyama vs. River Fee
in a word. I also like Nanhong, if possible, it is recommended to collect more Baoshan Nanhong, just like Hetian Yu, Baoshan Nanhong is like Hetian Yu in Xinjiang. Of course, the southern red of sichuan material is also very expensive now, such as persimmon red of vassie, cherry red of the combined material, and flame red of the nine mouth material, of which the stone weight of the nine mouth material is relatively poor.
