This stunning piece features a dragon design meticulously crafted from cinnabar, also known as vermilion or mercury sulfide. The vibrant red color of cinnabar, ranging from crimson to brick red, adds a touch of sophistication to this unique pendant. Cinnabar has a rich history as a source of red pigments, used traditionally for painting Tangka and other artworks. The mineral's color and distinctive characteristics come from its hexagonal crystal lattice structure, which sometimes exhibits twinning. There are two main types of cinnabar: the crystal-bearing Purple Gold Sand Cinnabar and the Imperial Red Cinnabar. The Purple Gold Sand Cinnabar, with visible crystals, tends to have a deeper red color compared to the finer and more delicate hue of the Imperial Red Cinnabar. Both varieties are highly sought after, with the choice often based on personal preference.
