Nanhong agate (南红) is a luxury item whose price has increased greatly. It has a waxy, opaque appearance and grows brighter as it is handled.
Since Nanhong agate is scarce — especially so until a new source was found recently — and often contains many cracks, carved artwork made from the stone is rare and in the past was almost always owned by the imperial family.
Nanhong agate started to gain popularity as far back as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24). In Buddhist culture, red agate is believed to be conducive to digestion, improving stomach and intestinal functions, while it also is said to inspire courage and confidence.
For Chinese people, red embodies the idea of prosperity. Many think it will bring luck and ward off misfortune
