What are the producing areas of Nanhong? What are the origin of Liangshan Nanhong

Nanhong agate, also known as hematite in ancient times, can be directly used as medicine. In the past two years, it has been loved by more people and gradually its output has become less. Prices are also rising year by year. Do you know the origin of Liangshan Nanhong?

There are nine red agate producing areas in the south of Liangshan, United and Wasi.

1. In Meigu County, the geographical conditions of Waxi, which is located in the east of Meigu County, are relatively biased, and the mining conditions are poor. However, the color of South Red Agate Waxi materials is very rich, the block type is not very large, most of them are small, and the quality of the extracted South Red Agate raw stones is equal to that of jiukou.

2. The South Red Agate produced in Lianhe township has its own characteristics. Although the quality of the original stone is seriously polarized, it also produces the best cherry red. The water head of the combined raw stone is sufficient and its permeability is good, which is similar to Baoshan Nanhong stone. Therefore, it is often used as a fake Baoshan Nanhong stone for commercial use.

3. Jiukou Township and jiukou Nanhong agate in Liangshan are mainly formed by volcanoes. The characteristics of Nanhong agate formed by volcanoes can be seen from the aspects of skin, block type, texture and color. The outer skin of the southern rudimentary stone in jiukou is a little like that of the jade. The surface of the outer skin has a very obvious volcanic formation feature. A layer of brown to extra black cortex formed by high temperature oxidation can be seen after removing this layer of skin.
