Gansu Nanhong: Old materials are more common.

We often say "Old Nanhong" actually refers to Gansu Nanhong. Gansu Nanhong can be regarded as the originator of our country's Nanhong, which was called "Chiyu" or "Chiqiong" in ancient times, and its main producing area is Diebu, Gansu.

Unlike Nanhong in other producing areas, Nanhong in Gansu became extinct as early as the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, most of the old materials circulating in the market are mainly beads, thick and moist, with weathered patina and pure and bright color, usually between orange and big red.

Market value: money can't buy it.

In the opinion of experts, there is no mine to dig in Nanhong, Gansu, and the old Nanhong existing in the world is very rare. One is hard to find, and the price is quite expensive, pointing to Tibetan dzi beads!

Baoshan Nanhong: Royal.

With the extinction of Nanhong in Gansu, Nanhong in Baoshan, Yunnan has become the only substitute, and Zhu Chao, a symbolic product of the Qing court, is mostly made of Nanhong in Baoshan, which can be described as imperial.

Baoshan Nanhong has a jade-like surface, uniform and transparent color, restrained internal oil and high quality, which is deeply loved by experts.

But as the saying goes, "Baoshan is not without cracks", the biggest feature of Baoshan Nanhong is that there are many cracks, and it is not easy to produce big materials.

Therefore, Baoshan Nanhong is rarely used for carving, and most of them are car beads. Even when making beads, in order to reduce the secondary damage caused by machine grinding, most Baoshan Nanhong beads are frosted.

Market value: the price remains high.

Baoshan Nanhong is the most popular variety in the market today. Moreover, the color span of Baoshan Nanhong is still relatively large. Chili red, persimmon red, flame red, brocade red, etc. Contains almost all the "red" and has a wide range of choices.

Therefore, Baoshan Nanhong has great investment and collection value, and the market price has soared.

Liangshan Nanhong: A Rising Star

Earlier, with the news that Baoshan Nanhong Mine was closed, many people thought that they could never buy high-quality Nanhong materials. However, with the excavation of the new mine in Liangshan, Sichuan, Liangshan Nanhong began to climb thousands of miles and quickly became a dark horse in Nanhong Market.

As a rising star, Liangshan Nanhong has good quality, high output and large reserves, so it quickly occupied the market. At present, most of the Nanhong sold in the market comes from Liangshan, Sichuan.

The advantage of Liangshan Nanhong lies in its rich colors. In addition to the common red, there are red and white materials, frozen materials, ice floating and other varieties, and there are more possibilities to choose from.

Compared with the cracked Baoshan Nanhong, the integrity of Liangshan Nanhong is relatively high, which can not only be made into bracelets and handles, but also make larger objects. But its disadvantage is that the stone is too strong and needs polishing to highlight the jade.

Market value: the price is getting higher and higher.

Liangshan Nanhong, as a newly discovered high-quality variety, has few cracks and excellent quality, and is a good material for Nanhong carving. In recent years, the jade agate market has also continued to flourish, and it has been sought after by sculptors and many Tibetan friends.

Mongolian Nanhong: Low-end Variety

At the beginning of 20 14, a Mongolian southern red material appeared on the market.

The quality of this kind of southern red from Mongolia is uneven. The top grade material is similar in appearance to persimmon red in Jiukou, Sichuan, but similar to Baoshan material with many internal cracks. Therefore, it is often regarded as a substitute for Sichuan Nanhong persimmon red by unscrupulous merchants.

Mongolian south red is brittle because of its heavy stone, and it must be injected with glue before it can be carved or polished into beads.

Market value: the price gap is large.

The decisive factor of the value of Mongolian Nanhong mainly lies in its own texture. Different quality leads to great price difference, and good quality materials will also have high prices.
