A distinctive old Nanhong red agate bead featuring rich orange-red tones, deep reddish-brown areas, and intricate surface markings.
This substantial barrel-shaped bead has softly rounded edges and an irregular polished surface. Its vibrant red-orange colour contrasts beautifully with darker brown patches, pale mineral-like veins, and mottled patterns.
The bead displays visible surface wear, fine fissures, small pits, and variations in polish, giving it a rustic and timeworn appearance.
A drilled hole runs through the bead, making it suitable for use as a focal bead in necklaces, handmade jewellery, or a personal bead collection.
