Colors may vary depending on the equipment, weather, and screen display. Please be aware!) **> Category** Water-ground cinnabar, Emperor Cinnabar, Purple Gold Cinnabar, and Crystal Cinnabar are all high-content quality cinnabar. Their **main differences lie in color, texture, hardness, and production methods**. **"Water-ground Cinnabar"** **True red, slightly orangey. The surface has a warm, frosted luster that will become brighter with wear, forming a patina.** The production method involves repeatedly grinding cinnabar into fine particles to form a paste, stirring with water, letting it sit, collecting the upper "turbid liquid," and then letting it settle again (the water-grinding purification method). The cinnabar mud at the bottom is air-dried and then pressed using ancient methods. The cross-section will still show uniform, fine mineral sparkles. **"Emperor Cinnabar"** **The color is more true red, with a brighter hue and higher hardness.** The production method involves multiple processes such as crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, water-grinding, and high polishing from natural cinnabar ore, followed by ancient pressing methods. Emperor Cinnabar has almost no surface mineral sparkles but has them internally. The surface is treated with a **high-polishing** process to give it a metallic sheen, especially under sunlight, enhancing its metallic feel. **"Purple Gold Cinnabar"** **The color is purplish-red, with slightly lower hardness than Emperor Cinnabar.** The production method involves multiple processes such as crushing, grinding, and screening from natural cinnabar ore, but **without water-grinding purification**. Therefore, the surface is not as fine and has scattered small mineral sparkles, creating a "starry sky" effect. **"Crystal Cinnabar"** **The color is purplish-red and translucent.** These are large cinnabar particles directly chipped from cinnabar ore. The crystal grains are clearly visible on the surface, and under light, they are translucent, emitting a fluorescent red glow. **> Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvest** **Everything that unfolds, that is poetic, that is beautiful in this world, often happens naturally, just like the changing seasons.** **Learn to slow down, clear your mind, treat life with softness, respect the power of time, and let everything grow naturally. Like a tree, grow with focus and without fear, developing clear growth rings.** **Our handmade crafts are just like this!!** **> Cinnabar** The earliest written records refer to cinnabar with a single character, "丹" (dān). "丹" is a pictographic character. In ancient times, miners would dig wells to extract minerals, so the character "丹" is actually the character "井" (jǐng, well) with a dot in the middle, signifying something extracted from a mine. This something is cinnabar. Because cinnabar is red, mostly deep red, "朱" (zhū) also means red. Later, cinnabar was called "朱砂" (zhūshā). "丹" and "朱" describe the color, while "砂" describes the shape, meaning irregular granular minerals. Cinnabar's color is long-lasting. Chinese calligraphy and painting are known as "丹青" (dānqīng), where "丹" refers to cinnabar. It is an indispensable component of pigments and the "Eight Treasures Seal Paste," whose main ingredient is also cinnabar. From a Feng Shui perspective, cinnabar is collected from minerals that have gathered the essence of the sun and moon. It absorbs the positive energy of heaven and earth, thus cinnabar possesses a very strong yang energy magnetic field. We can observe that jade feels cool in the hand, while cinnabar feels warm. Since ancient times, cinnabar has been used in Taoist rituals such as writing talismans, consecration, warding off evil, and suppressing malevolent forces. Cinnabar has always been regarded as a supreme item for enhancing luck, suppressing evil, driving away spirits, attracting blessings, and accumulating wealth. It carries auspicious meanings of great fortune, wealth, and peace. The "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" (Classic of Materia Medica) lists cinnabar as a superior herb, often used in medicinal treatments for calming the spirit, detoxification, and relieving insomnia and excessive dreaming. Living in modern times, owning one or two cinnabar artifacts can also help cultivate one's character and nourish the eyes and mind. **> Identification** **All cinnabar products in our store are high-content cinnabar with a strong sense of weight. You can use the following methods for identification:** . Burning cinnabar will turn it black. (Please heat it indirectly. It is generally not recommended to burn the finished product directly, as controlling the time and area is difficult. If it turns black after prolonged heating, it cannot be restored.) . Real cinnabar can draw orange-red lines on paper. (To avoid damaging the appearance of the finished product, please choose an inconspicuous area to draw the line, or use the gifted bead to draw the line.) **> Care** **If cinnabar jewelry does not have accessories made of metal, wood, or plant materials (such as Bodhi seeds), it can be lightly exposed to water but should not be soaked for extended periods, as this will affect its luster.** **It is not recommended to get the braided cord wet. After cleaning, it needs to be air-dried before wearing, as wearing damp cords can lead to excessive dampness for the body, which is not good for health.** 1. Avoid Corrosion Cinnabar is a mineral and is insoluble in water. However, frequent contact with chemicals like soap and shower gel can corrode cinnabar. 2. Avoid Contact with Metal Objects The mineral elements in cinnabar can absorb metal ions, causing irreversible darkening and blackening of the cinnabar. 3. Avoid High Temperatures The mercury sulfide in cinnabar releases at high temperatures of 380 degrees Celsius. Therefore, as long as you avoid exposing cinnabar jewelry to high-temperature environments, you can wear it with confidence. 4. Avoid Collisions with Hard or Sharp Objects. Cinnabar has high hardness but is brittle, so be careful to prevent drops. 5. How to Clean If you find the cinnabar is dirty, do not soak it in water, as this will alter its original luster! You can wipe it a few times with a slightly damp cotton cloth and let it air dry for a while. 6. Oiling for Maintenance Apply a layer of white tea oil or olive oil to the finished product, allowing the surface to absorb the oil, making it more lustrous and clear. After applying oil, seal it in a brocade box, you can wrap it with a common plastic wrap to prevent the oil from staining the brocade box lining. 7. Frequent Handling Frequently handle the cinnabar jewelry worn on your body with your hands, allowing a very thin layer of oil to adhere to the surface. Over time, it will appear more ancient and elegant. The actual item is more exquisite and beautiful than the photos.
