Their **primary differences lie in color, texture, hardness, and production methods.** **「Shuifei Sand」** **A true red, with a slight orange undertone. Its surface has a warm, matte finish that will become more lustrous with wear, developing a patina.** The production method involves repeatedly grinding fine cinnabar particles into a paste, mixing with water, and then collecting the upper "turbid liquid" after settling. This liquid is then allowed to settle again (the Shuifei purification method). The bottom cinnabar mud is air-dried and then formed through ancient pressing techniques. Even on a cross-section, fine, uniform mineral flecks can be seen. **「Imperial Sand」** **A brighter, more vibrant red with higher hardness.** The production method involves purifying natural cinnabar ore through multiple processes including **crushing/grinding/magnetic separation/Shuifei/high polishing**, followed by ancient pressing techniques. Imperial Sand has almost no visible mineral flecks on the surface, but they are present internally. The surface is **high-polished** to achieve a metallic sheen, especially under sunlight, giving it a strong metallic feel. **「Purple Gold Sand」** **A purplish-red hue with slightly lower hardness than Imperial Sand.** The production method involves multiple steps from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing/grinding/screening**, but **without the Shuifei purification**. Therefore, the surface is less refined and has scattered small mineral flecks, creating a "starry sky" effect. **「Crystal Sand」** **A purplish-red color, translucent.** These are large cinnabar crystals directly chipped from the ore. The crystal particles are clearly visible on the surface, and under light, they are transparent, emitting a fluorescent red glow. > Spring Ploughing, Autumn Harvest **In this world, all that unfolds gracefully, poetically, and beautifully, often happens naturally, much like the changing seasons.** **Learn to slow down, quiet your mind, treat life with gentleness, respect the power of time, and allow everything to grow naturally. Like a tree, grow with focus and without fear, developing clear growth rings.** **Our craftsmanship is just the same!!** > Care Instructions 1. Avoid corrosive substances and fire. 2.
