Nanhong: Also known as "red jade," Nanhong is a rare mineral in China, characterized by its fine, lustrous texture. It ranks alongside Hetian jade and jadeite as one of the three major types of jade. It is primarily formed through reactions between underground magma and subterranean or surface materials at high temperatures. The high density of iron oxides is responsible for Nanhong's coloring. Millions of years ago, the Nanhong producing regions of Baoshan in Yunnan, Liangshan in Sichuan, and Diebu in Gansu, as well as the Warring States red jade producing areas extending through Inner Mongolia, Jilin, and Heilongjiang in the northeast, were rich in cinnabar, giving them very stable physical compositions. As magma ascended and erupted, it could only decompose the cinnabar into fine particles dispersed within the magma. The extreme temperatures could not burn away the "cinnabar" particles. Only after the magma cooled over eons, tempered by billions of years, did it form the astonishing red hues seen today, creating this special red agate. Different eruption methods also result in various forms of raw Nanhong agate. Nanhong agate is rich in trace elements such as iron, zinc, and selenium, and is believed to have benefits including clearing internal heat, calming the spirit, improving vision, promoting blood circulation, nourishing the five internal organs, moistening the lungs, clearing heat, benefiting the spleen and stomach, and nourishing hair. It is particularly beneficial for women, as long-term wear can promote metabolism, improve complexion, make skin softer and more supple, regulate endocrine function, and contribute to overall health, with potential benefits for insomnia and excessive dreaming. **Shi Die (Time Butterfly)** Wings flutter, light as an immortal Butterflies leave brilliant imprints amidst seas of flowers Fingers form wings Taking flight through time and space Soaring past the moments and brows of passing years **About the Product** This bracelet is meticulously crafted using selected natural Nanhong "cherry red" ice-red round beads as the primary material, with no artificial enhancements.

Avoid Impact: Nanhong, like agate, is dense and hard but has low toughness and wear resistance. Therefore, avoid storing it with metal items to prevent collision. 2. Avoid Perfume and Oily Substances: Try to avoid contact with perfumes, oily substances, and chemicals to prevent erosion and maintain the vibrancy of the color. 3. Mind Temperature: Avoid heat sources and environments with significant temperature fluctuations. High temperatures, prolonged sun exposure, and rapid temperature changes can lead to cracking. 4. Cleaning: Jewelry worn or displayed for extended periods may accumulate oil, dust, and dirt. For simple dust, gently wipe with a soft cloth or a small soft brush. For minor dirt, cleaning with water is usually sufficient. For more severe oil stains, use mild soapy water or soak in a prepared saltwater solution according to the recommended ratio. After cleaning, allow the item to air dry in a cool place or wipe it with a soft cloth. 5. Storage: When not wearing jewelry for extended periods, store it in a sealed bag. A small amount of maintenance oil or olive oil can be lightly applied.
