We will do our best to select pieces, but they may not be absolutely perfect. Please be aware!** **> Types** Water-Ground Cinnabar, King 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 Chinese red, with a slight orange hue. The surface has a warm, matte luster that will become brighter with wear, forming a patina.** The production method involves repeatedly grinding fine cinnabar particles into a paste, mixing with water, letting it settle, and collecting the upper "turbid liquid." This is then allowed to settle again (the water-grinding purification method). The bottom cinnabar mud is air-dried and then pressed using ancient methods. Even on the cross-section, fine mineral sparkle particles can be seen. **"King Cinnabar"** **A brighter, more vibrant true red color with higher hardness.** The production method involves multiple stages of purification from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, water-grinding, and high polishing**, followed by pressing using ancient methods. King Cinnabar has almost no surface sparkle, but internal sparkle. The surface undergoes a **high-polishing** process to achieve a metallic texture, especially in sunlight, maximizing its metallic sheen. **"Purple-Gold Cinnabar"** **A purplish-red color with slightly lower hardness than King Cinnabar.** The production method involves multiple stages such as **crushing, grinding, and screening** from natural cinnabar ore, but **without water-grinding purification**. Therefore, the surface is less refined and has small, scattered mineral sparkles, creating a "starry sky" effect. **"Crystal Cinnabar"** **A purplish-red color, translucent.** Large cinnabar crystals directly chipped from cinnabar ore. Large crystal particles are clearly visible on the surface. When illuminated, each particle is transparent, emitting a fluorescent red glow. **> Spring Plowing, Autumn Harvest** **All unfolding, all poetic, all beautiful things in this world tend to happen naturally, much like the turning of the seasons.** **Learn to slow down, clear your mind, treat life with gentleness, revere the power of time, and allow everything to grow naturally, like a tree, focused and fearless, growing clear annual rings.** **Our craftsmanship is also this way!!** **> Cinnabar** The earliest literature records cinnabar with a single character, "丹" (dān). "丹" is an ideogrammatic character. In ancient times, wells were dug to extract minerals from the earth, so the character "丹" is actually the character "井" (jǐng - well) with a dot in the middle, signifying something extracted from a dug mine. This something is cinnabar. Because cinnabar is red, often a deep red, "朱" (zhū) also means red. Later, cinnabar was called "朱砂" (zhūshā), where "丹" and "朱" describe the color, and "砂" describes the shape, meaning irregular granular minerals. The color of cinnabar is enduring. Chinese calligraphy and painting are called "丹青" (dānqīng), where "丹" refers to cinnabar. It is an indispensable component of the "Eight Treasures Inkpad," whose main ingredient is also cinnabar. From a Feng Shui perspective, cinnabar is collected from minerals that gather the essence of the sun and moon, absorbing the positive energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, cinnabar possesses a very strong yang energy field. We can observe that jade feels cool to the touch, while cinnabar feels warm. Since ancient times, cinnabar has been used in various Taoist rituals such as drawing talismans, consecration, warding off evil, and suppressing malevolent forces. Cinnabar has always been regarded as a supreme item for attracting good fortune, warding off evil, suppressing malevolent forces, attracting blessings, and accumulating wealth. It carries auspicious meanings of overwhelming good luck, prosperity, and well-being. The "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" (Classic of Materia Medica) lists cinnabar as a superior medicinal substance, often used in treatments for calming the spirit, detoxifying, and alleviating insomnia and excessive dreaming. Living in modern times, owning one or two cinnabar artifacts can also cultivate one's character and nurture the eyes and mind. **> Authentication** **All cinnabar products in our store are high-content cinnabar and have a significant weight. You can use the following methods for authentication:** . Burning cinnabar will turn it black. (Please heat indirectly. Generally, it is not recommended to burn the finished product directly, as it is difficult to control the time and area. 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 complimentary bead to draw.) **> 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 it is not suitable for long-term immersion, as this will affect its luster.** **It is not recommended to expose woven cord bracelets to water. After cleaning, they need to be air-dried before wearing, as wearing damp cords can lead to excessive dampness in the body, which is not beneficial.** 1. Avoid Corrosion Cinnabar is a mineral and insoluble in water, but frequent contact with chemicals like soap and shower gel can cause corrosion. 2. Avoid Contact with Metal The mineral elements in cinnabar can absorb metal ions, causing irreversible darkening or blackening of the cinnabar. 3. Avoid High Temperatures The mercuric sulfide in cinnabar only 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 peace of mind. 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 that the cinnabar is dirty, do not soak it in water, as this will alter its original brilliance! You can gently wipe it several 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 stone surface to absorb the oil, making it more crystal clear and radiant. If you apply oil and then seal it in a brocade box, you can wrap it in a layer of 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 stone surface, making it appear more ancient and elegant over time. The actual product is more exquisite and beautiful than the photos.
