It has been tempered through hundreds of millions of years of geological activity. Among these, the ice-floating material, hailed as "a poem of ice and fire," features a crystal-clear agate base embedded with cinnabar dots or cloud-like red patterns. Top-grade ice-floating material is as translucent and lustrous as cold jade infused with blood, where the interplay of light and shadow blends red and white like dawn clouds captured in a glacier. For every thousand tons of raw ore from the mines, only a few kilograms of pure, flawless ice-floating material can be selected. Furthermore, due to the naturally formed distribution of cinnabar dots, each bead becomes a unique, unreproducible masterpiece. In recent years, the increasing scarcity of mining sources has further enhanced its collection value. Ancient people regarded Nanhong as "crimson jade," symbolizing good fortune, warding off evil, and attracting blessings. The unique clarity of the ice-floating material is imbued with the elegant meaning of "a pure heart holding auspiciousness." As a mineral formed during volcanic eruptions under high temperature and pressure, internal cracks are an inevitable part of its formation. Hence, the saying: "No cracks, no Nanhong." Moreover, due to its content of over thirty trace elements and its natural magnetic field, it can promote microcirculation when in contact with the skin, aligning with the traditional Chinese medicine wisdom of "crimson jade nourishing the heart." The exceptionally cool and moist touch of high-grade ice-floating material can bring a touch of the serene coolness of a snow-capped mountain to the wrist, especially in the heat of summer. **Hongyou** Red, is the cloud calcined in glaze, A piece of Ruyi, half an inch of gilded gold.

Due to its vibrant colors, it is particularly prone to dehydration and color loss. When not wearing the jewelry, please take measures to keep Salar agate hydrated. Excessive dehydration can cause the agate's color to fade, turn grayish, or lose its color. It can be stored in a sealed bag with a small amount of maintenance oil or tea oil to prevent dehydration and color loss. 2. Avoid contact with perfumes, oils, and chemical agents as much as possible to prevent erosion. Avoid wearing jewelry while bathing or washing. Cosmetics or toiletries can damage the jewelry and affect the vibrancy of its color. 3. Pay attention to temperature: Avoid heat sources and environments with significant temperature fluctuations. High-temperature environments, prolonged sun exposure, and rapid temperature changes in a short period can easily lead to fading, graying, or even cracking. 4. Pay attention to cleaning: Jewelry worn or displayed for extended periods may accumulate oil, dust, and other dirt. For simple dust, gently wipe with a soft cloth or a small soft brush. For minor dirt, cleaning with clean water is usually sufficient. For more severe soiling, gently scrub with warm, mild soapy water or soak and clean in a prepared salt solution according to the ratio. After cleaning, allow it to air dry in a cool place or wipe it dry with a soft cloth. 5. Avoid collisions: Agate materials are dense and hard but have low toughness and wear resistance. Therefore, avoid storing them with metal products and prevent collisions.
