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. There are different versions defining the name. One prevailing explanation is that the red agate from Yunnan Province is said to be the most valuable — nan meaning Yunnan, hong for red — thus the name “Nanhong.” 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 inspire courage and confidence. For Chinese people, red embodies the idea of prosperity. Many think it will bring luck and ward off misfortune
