Most people probably can't read "紅" (red) as "ホーン" (horn), let alone "南" (south). That's because this reading comes from Chinese, the language of the stone's origin. Southern red agate has special patterns and colors that are rarely seen in other agate producing areas, so it's an agate that has been given a special name, like a brand name. Let's take a look at its characteristics. Generally, agate and chalcedony are stones that have traditionally undergone artificial coloring treatments since ancient times. Agate and chalcedony, by nature, are aggregates of very small quartz crystal components at the micro level, and because there are tiny gaps in those crystals, solutions of metal ions that cause color are soaked into those gaps, or the state of the metal ions is changed by heat treatment to make the color more vivid and fix the color. When I went to the raw stone market in China before and was looking at the raw stones of Southern red agate, the staff suddenly started spraying water on the stones with a hose. Then, the raw stones, which had been a little powdery and white on the surface, became a very vivid and beautiful color. When polished, it changes to this vivid color, but in the raw stone state, the whole thing looks whitish, and this was the same for Southern red agate. As an aside, neither the kanji "瑪" nor "瑙" in "瑪瑙" (agate) are characters that are usually used. In other words, the word "瑪瑙" itself is said to have come from China. ❤︎Instant purchase OK^_^ You don't need to comment. * Multiple items can be combined and shipped "anonymously". * If you are purchasing multiple items, "like" the items you want to buy.
