战国红玛瑙市场交易火爆,身价不断提高,人们进而更加关注其历史、名称及收藏前景等问题。本人自2009年开始收藏和研究战国红,尤其是近段时间对战国红的历史渊源进行了考证,现将成果与体会同大家分享。一、辽西战国红的历史渊源据考证,人类发现、认识、利用玛瑙的年代久远。早在新石器时代,我国就开始用玛瑙制作各种器具和饰物,并对玛瑙的观赏和使用价值有了充分的认识。古时,玛瑙曾被称为"琼"、"赤琼"、"赤玉"。佛家将玛瑙列为"七宝"之一。

Zhanguo red agate has smooth and barest texture,excellent clarity.Its main colors is pure red,warm thick yellow and pretty elegant white.Once discovered,it has been widely favored by the market as its aesthetic characteristics have close ties with the traditional culture of our country,besides,the scarcity of the resources and the extremely difficulty in getting its materials all cause the price of this kind of agate surged rapidly since 2008 it has been found.Its price which has gone up 10-fold in three years makes a miracle in the history of agate.Now,people are paying more attention to its history,name,and its prospect.
