South Red Agate's "Red Jade" History
The ancient red agate is called "red jade" in ancient times and is also regarded as a kind of "jade" in the early stage of use. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the gradual introduction of Buddhism, the chalcedony with a strip-like appearance has the allusion of "horse brain fossils" in the Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, the word "horse brain" has been developed and gradually developed into "agate". A specific gem title. The southern red agate also has the appearance of a general agate strip, so the earlier "Red Jade" was slowly classified into agate in the Chinese jade culture.
As early as in the Warring States period, some of the noble tombs of the ancient Shu Kingdom were unearthed in the South Red Agate. In the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the South Red Agate walked out of Yunnan, providing a large amount of high-quality raw materials to other areas, and then through the Central Plains inland areas. The skilled craftsmen carefully processed and engraved, forming a relatively systematic South Red mining-processing trade distribution channel, reaching the heyday of the development of South Red Agate.
In ancient times, the positioning of agate in gemstones was the same as the gemstones that were very expensive today, such as pearls and jadeites. In historical documents and historical novels, the “Golden Agate Collector†is often used to refer to the home of Dafu. This status of agate has continued to the last dynasty of China, the Qing Dynasty.
South Red Agate's "Red and White"
The pure agate is white in color, and its red variety is formed by the presence of iron in the crystalline mineral composition of the agate, which gives the ordinary red agate a relatively uniform color distribution in appearance. The "burning red" of modern technology uses high-temperature heating technology to make the iron element in the south red agate whose original color is not ideal enough to be artificially reduced during heating to obtain an ideal bright red color.
What's more, it is a dyed agate made by directly placing a colorless agate in a dye, soaking it at a high temperature and stabilizing the color at a high temperature, but this kind of agate is derived from the ordinary "he" color agate. , its color can not be separated from the characteristics of agate itself.
The red red agate itself is pure colorless or white. During the formation process, a large number of red granular mineral inclusions are engraved while crystallizing, making the red agate appear red, and these red granular mineral inclusions, It is also the "meat" of the South Red Agate. The more dense and red mineral particles, the more full the “meat†of the red agate, and the “small meat†affects the transparency of the agate, giving it a gelatinous appearance. This is also in line with the aesthetic tendency of “hidden, unpretentious, and subtle†in Chinese traditional culture, and the more “meat†is, the more vivid the color of the South Red Agate.
