Methods to identify Nanhong agate: 1) Color: Natural Nanhong has warm, subdued colors, not glaring; fake Nanhong has overly vivid and uniform colors; 2) Texture: Natural Nanhong has a gel-like feel, cinnabar dots visible under light; 3) Patterns: Natural Nanhong has natural textures and color transitions; fakes have abrupt colors; 4) Transmitted light: Under flashlight, natural Nanhong shows cinnabar dot distribution; 5) Feel: Natural Nanhong feels warm with moderate density; 6) Price: Full-color Baoshan Nanhong is expensive; be wary of very cheap ones. Common imitations include: red jasper, heat-treated agate, polymer-filled Nanhong, and synthetic products. Recommend getting identification from authorized institutions.
