It has the effect of warding off evil and protecting the body, and is one of the most health-preserving gemstones. Liangshan Nanhong is known for its rich and full color. Its texture is fine and oily like congealed fat, with uniform and dense cinnabar distribution. It emits a soft, satin-like fluorescence under sunlight, appearing more stable and profound than the transparency of Baoshan material. Particularly precious is the "full color, full meat" characteristic of Liangshan material, with high integrity and few cracks. Especially the top-grade old materials from the Waxi mine are the color of ripe朱柿, with a natural胶质感 and waxy luster, becoming more lustrous than blood amber after being played with. Compared to the water-like transparency of Lianhe material and the brittleness of Baoshan material, Liangshan Nanhong, with its unique胶糯 texture, high carving success rate, and increasingly mellow patina beauty over time, has become a top-grade Nanhong in the hearts of collectors, possessing both wearing value and collection potential. The healing energy of Nanhong—ancient texts record that its cinnabar color can nourish qi and blood, and its warm touch aligns with the traditional Chinese saying "jade nourishes people." Agate contains natural minerals. Wearing Nanhong jewelry for a long time not only has good cosmetic and decorative effects but can also drive away evil spirits and welcome wealth, nourish the heart and lungs, nourish the five internal organs, nourish the body, soothe the mood, beautify the complexion, calm the mind and aid sleep, nourish the five internal organs, and stabilize the soul, with good effects on medical healthcare. Natural丝纹 and cloud-like cinnabar dots are all marks of time. Nanhong agate is a mineral formed when magma erupted with cinnabar ore during crustal movement and volcanic eruptions. Due to the impact of high temperature and high pressure, cracks were inevitably formed at the beginning of its formation. There is an old saying, "Ten Nanhong, nine cracks," especially the more full the color and meat, the more prone to cracking. It is like the growth rings of a tree witnessing the creation of nature. By origin, it can be divided into Baoshan material, Liangshan material, Lianhe material, etc. Top-grade Nanhong is not only favored by the spiritual essence of mountains and rivers but also a secret key to the intertwining of Eastern aesthetics and life energy. **Zen Star** 108 stardusts fall into the cracks of the finger bones, Amber-colored Tai Chi cuts through day and night, Pearls incubate half a moon in the slight flaws of the pleats. Goldfish swim over the bean-green mountain ridges, Tail fins shake off scriptures soaked in cinnabar, And all prayers flow back along the blue water— Until the volcano clenched in the palm, Condenses the boiling silence into A string of silent Zen stars. **Product Description** This strand of Liangshan Nanhong 108 prayer beads is strung together with 7mm+ round beads, carrying the secret language of Buddhist nature and Taoist principles. Each bead is like solidified flame, with a brilliant柿子 red color that splashes out an almost full-meat, full-color intensity. Under the glossy polish, it flows with a silk-like luster. Upon closer inspection, natural textures appear faintly visible when light shines through, like the lingering traces of magma surging from deep within the rock layers. The胶质感 envelops the unique wildness of the Liangshan mineral veins. The number 108 secretly aligns with the completion of reincarnation. The three sets of back pendants are like the convergence of heaven, earth, and man—the chicken-fat yellow beeswax Tai Chi pendant is moist and lustrous, with yin and yang fish patterns swimming in the palm; two freshwater pearls are tinged with iridescence, their near-round flaws like footnotes to the waxing and waning of the moon; the jadeite spacer beads, with their bean-green and blue-water dual colors colliding, seem to lock mountains and rivers into a small space. The ice-floating goldfish running rings hanging at the end are the most ethereal. The pink, moist ice base with cinnabar speckles, the fine carving of the fish fins like hair, and the ripple-like movement as if carrying water, signify auspicious "wealth and abundance" and metaphorically represent the smooth path of "like a fish in water." Occasionally, a few beads hide faint linear textures or mineral spots, but from a distance, they appear as a cohesive whole, like marks worn by time, adding an ancient Zen charm. Held in the palm, the 108 Nanhong beads and accessories tremble together, symbolizing the coexistence of the mundane world and Zen, as well as the mountains and rivers of time hidden within the strand. **Specifications and Dimensions** Natural Liangshan Nanhong round beads: approximately 7.1mm-7.4mm Natural Nanhong ice-floating peace running ring approximately: 17mm×6.8mm Natural Nanhong ice-floating goldfish: approximately 22mm×15mm×9mm Natural chicken-fat yellow beeswax Tai Chi pendant: 12.6mm×4.5mm Natural chicken-fat yellow full beeswax small round beads: approximately 4.1mm Net weight of amber approximately 0.5g Natural freshwater pearls: approximately 7mm Natural jadeite bean-green round beads: approximately 8mm Other accessories: Natural jadeite blue spacer beads, Natural Nanhong ice-floating small round beads, Natural Nanhong full-meat full-color small round beads **Purchase Notice** All main and auxiliary materials of this product are selected from nature.

All products in our store are shot in kind, one item, one picture. Using professional photography equipment and natural daylight, professional photography strives to restore the true color and essence of the product as much as possible. However, due to the differences in the viewer's display and environment, there may be slight deviations.

Avoid collision: Nanhong belongs to agate, which is dense and hard but has low brittleness and abrasion resistance, so avoid storing it with metal objects and avoid collision. 2. Avoid perfume, oil stains, and chemical agents as much as possible to prevent erosion and affect the vibrancy of the color. 3. Pay attention to temperature: Avoid heat sources and environments with large temperature differences. High-temperature environments, prolonged sun exposure, and large temperature differences in a short period can easily lead to cracking. 4. Pay attention to cleaning: Jewelry that is worn or placed for a long time will inevitably get stained with oil, dust, and other dirt. If it is just simple dust, use a soft cloth or a small soft brush to gently wipe it. If the dirt is light, it can generally be cleaned with clean water. If the oil stains are more serious, you can use warm, diluted soapy water to scrub or soak and clean with a salt solution mixed according to the proportion. After cleaning, it can be air-dried in a cool place or wiped with a soft cloth. 5. Storage: When not wearing jewelry for a long time, it can be stored in a sealed bag, and a small amount of maintenance oil or olive oil can be applied.
