【Carrying the Carp】Natural Baoshan Nanhong Super Saturated Full Color Hand String Bracelet with Ice Float Koi **Product Summary** One of a kind, suitable for wrist sizes 13-18cm, sample wrist size 16cm. 11mm old mine Baoshan grade hand string, fully saturated with meat and color, leaning towards persimmon red. Soft matte texture, rich crimson like congealed fat, thick gelatinous feel, not translucent. Occasional natural textures, but flawless from a distance.

Adorned with an ice float koi charm, complemented by ice float auspicious rings and golden twisted honey beads, subtly embedding the fortune of "carp leaping over the dragon gate." Ice and fire coexist, dynamic yet serene. The delicate balance between natural spiritual charm and craftsmanship is the profound essence of Nanhong collecting – not seeking absolute perfection, but a concentrated spirit of the land. **Baoshan Nanhong** Nanhong agate is a mineral formed during volcanic eruptions. Due to the impact of high temperature and high pressure, it inevitably developed cracks during its initial formation; an old saying goes, "Ten Nanhongs, nine with cracks." Baoshan Nanhong is natural red chalcedony from Baoshan, Yunnan, revered since ancient times as "crimson jade," a treasure symbolizing auspiciousness for royalty. Baoshan material is considered a top-tier Nanhong due to its warm and moist texture, rich color, and strong gelatinous quality. Baoshan Nanhong veins are embedded, leading to more internal cracks, hence the saying, "No crack, no Baoshan." However, prolonged wear and oil absorption can mitigate these imperfections. The inherent linear patterns, layering, small dots, and minor cracks within Nanhong are not flaws. The most precious top-grade Baoshan material requires "few cracks and minimal patterns, without mineral pits or spots." In traditional culture, Nanhong symbolizes great fortune, warding off evil, and protection. It is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, with the efficacy of repelling evil and protecting the wearer. It is also one of the most health-promoting gemstones. It is imbued with the energetic property of "nourishing the heart and invigorating blood." Its mineral content resonates with the human body, subtly harmonizing qi and blood, enhancing vitality. Long-term wear can help calm the mind, improve one's aura, drive away evil and welcome wealth, nourish the lungs and internal organs, benefit the body, soothe emotions, enhance beauty, calm the spirit, nourish the internal organs, stabilize the soul, and offers significant benefits for health and wellness. High-density old pit material is considered a "natural amulet" due to its stable energy, possessing both collectible value and spiritual significance, a fusion of millennia-old jade culture and natural gifts. **Carrying the Carp** Congealed sunset surges like a river on the wrist bone, The amber's cracks seep with the meridians of light, A koi carries away the last speck of twilight, Scales shedding star clusters steeped in cinnabar. Ice patterns are earth's unfinished letters, The moment of leaping over the dragon gate— The palm's magnetic field begins to tremble, All cracks grow towards the light. **Product Description** This Baoshan Nanhong full-color, full-meat hand string features a persimmon red hue and a soft matte texture. Strung with rounded beads of approximately 10mm+, it weaves a crimson poem of heaven and earth. Each bead resembles a serene, solidified dusk sky, its rich persimmon red tone like aged cinnabar, uniformly spread with subtle variations in depth and natural rhythms, as if time has solidified into a gelatinous richness within the agate's texture. The meat is dense and substantial, appearing nearly opaque when held to the light, embodying the unique profound aura of old mine Baoshan. Upon closer inspection, a few beads reveal extremely fine natural cracks and lines, like the whispers of the earth's veins, yet appearing unified from a distance, without compromising their solemn and lustrous beauty. The bracelet is accented by a round bead of amber golden twisted honey, adding a warm golden glow. Interspersed are ice float auspicious rings like a clear spring cleansing the dust, and a dangling ice float koi charm with a pinkish, icy skin dotted with cinnabar specks. The fish tail gracefully appears to leap in clear water, symbolizing the auspicious omen of "carp leaping over the dragon gate," and also echoing the wish for "peace and completeness." The collision of Nanhong and ice float in this entire string is a fusion of fervor and coolness, refined craftsmanship hidden within roughness, and exquisite charm found in simplicity. Worn on the wrist, it carries the weight of mountains and rivers and the fluidity of flowing water, ultimately becoming a unique heirloom of timeless elegance. **Specifications** Natural Baoshan full-color, full-meat round beads: approx. 11mm Natural Nanhong ice float auspicious ring: approx. 11.5x5mm, 9x4mm Natural ice float koi: 22mm x 13mm x 7.8mm Natural amber golden twisted honey round bead: approx. 12mm Amber net weight: approx. 0.8g Other accessories: Nanhong ice float small round beads, Nanhong full-meat full-color small round beads **Purchase Notice** All main and accessory materials for this product are naturally sourced.

Avoid Collisions: Nanhong, being a type of agate, has high density and hardness but is brittle and not very wear-resistant. Therefore, avoid storing it with metal items and prevent collisions. 2. Avoid Perfume and Oils: Try to avoid contact with perfumes, oily substances, and chemical agents to prevent erosion and preserve the vibrancy of the color. 3. Temperature Considerations: Avoid heat sources and environments with large temperature fluctuations. High temperatures, prolonged sun exposure, and rapid temperature changes in a short period can lead to cracking. 4. Cleaning: Jewelry worn or displayed for extended periods may accumulate oil, dust, and other grime. For simple dust, gently wipe with a soft cloth or a small soft brush. For light soiling, rinsing with clean water is usually sufficient. For more severe oil stains, wash with mild soapy water or soak in a prepared salt water solution. After cleaning, allow it to air dry naturally in a cool place or wipe with a soft cloth. 5. Storage: If the jewelry is not to be worn for a long time, store it in a sealed bag. A small amount of maintenance oil or olive oil can be applied.
