Their **main differences lie in color, texture, hardness, and manufacturing methods**. **「Shuifei Sand」** **True red, with a slight orange undertone. The surface has a warm matte finish that will become more lustrous with wear, developing a patina.** The manufacturing method involves repeatedly grinding fine cinnabar particles into a paste, stirring with water, collecting the upper "turbid liquid" after settling, and then allowing it to settle again (the Shuifei purification method). The bottom cinnabar mud is air-dried and then formed through ancient pressing techniques. Evenly distributed fine mineral flashes can still be seen on the internal cross-section. **「Kingly Sand」** **The color leans towards a brighter true red, with higher hardness.** The manufacturing method involves multiple processes from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing/grinding/magnetic separation/Shuifei/high polishing**, followed by ancient pressing. Kingly Sand has almost no mineral flashes on the exterior but has them internally. The exterior is treated with a **high polishing** process to achieve a metallic luster, especially under sunlight, enhancing its metallic feel. **「Purple Gold Sand」** **The color is a purplish-red, with slightly lower hardness than Kingly Sand.** The manufacturing method involves multiple processes from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing/grinding/screening**, but **without Shuifei purification**. Therefore, the surface is less refined and has scattered small mineral flashes, creating a "starry sky" effect. **「Crystal Sand」** **The color is purplish-red and translucent.** These are large cinnabar particles directly chipped from cinnabar ore. Large crystal particles are clearly visible on the surface, appearing translucent under light and emitting a fluorescent red glow. **> Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvest** **All things that unfold, all things poetic, all beautiful occurrences in this world, often happen naturally, much like the changing seasons.** **Learn to slow down, clear your mind, treat life with gentleness, respect the power of time, and allow everything to grow naturally, like a tree, growing with focus and without fear, developing clear growth rings.** **Our craftsmanship is precisely like this!!** **> Cinnabar** The earliest textual records refer to cinnabar with a single character, "丹" (dān). "丹" is an ideogram. Ancient miners would excavate shafts, and within these shafts, they would extract minerals. Thus, the character "丹" is essentially the character "井" (jǐng - well) with a dot in the middle, signifying the extraction of something from a dug mine, which is cinnabar. Because cinnabar is red, mostly a deep red, "朱" (zhū) also means red. Later, "丹砂" (dān shā) became known as cinnabar. "丹" and "朱" describe the color, while "砂" describes the shape, referring to irregularly shaped mineral particles. Cinnabar's color is enduring. Chinese calligraphy and painting are called "丹青" (dān qīng), where "丹" refers to cinnabar. An indispensable component of pigments, the "Eight Treasures Seal Paste," also has cinnabar as its main ingredient. From a Feng Shui perspective, cinnabar is collected from minerals that have gathered the essence of the sun and moon, absorbing the positive energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, cinnabar possesses an extremely strong Yang energy magnetic field. We can observe that jade feels cool to the touch, while cinnabar held in the hand feels warm. Since ancient times, cinnabar has been indispensable in Taoist rituals such as drawing talismans, consecrating objects, warding off evil, and suppressing negative energies. Cinnabar has always been regarded by people as an ultimate item for improving luck, warding off misfortune, driving away evil, attracting blessings, and accumulating wealth. It carries auspicious meanings of great fortune and prosperity, as well as peace and health. The "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" (Classic of Herbal Medicine) lists cinnabar as a superior-grade substance, often used in medicinal treatments to calm the spirit, detoxify, and alleviate insomnia and excessive dreaming. Living in modern times, owning one or two cinnabar artifacts can also serve to cultivate character, refresh the eyes, and nourish the heart. **> Identification** **All cinnabar products in this shop are high-content cinnabar and have a strong sense of weight. You can use the following methods for identification:** >. Burning cinnabar will turn it black. (Please heat through an intermediary. It is generally not recommended to burn finished products directly, as it is difficult to control the time and area. If it turns black after prolonged heating, it cannot be restored.) >. True cinnabar can draw orange-red lines on paper. (To avoid damaging the aesthetics of the finished product, please choose an inconspicuous area to draw the line, or use the complimentary bead for scratching.) **> Care** 1. Avoid corrosion Cinnabar is a mineral and is insoluble in water. However, frequent contact with chemicals such as soap and shower gel can cause corrosion. 2. Avoid contact with metal objects The mineral elements in cinnabar can absorb metal ions, causing irreversible dulling and blackening of the cinnabar. 3. Avoid high temperatures The mercuric sulfide component of cinnabar will only be released at high temperatures of 380 degrees Celsius. Therefore, as long as you avoid placing cinnabar jewelry in high-temperature environments during normal wear, you can wear it with peace of mind. 4. Avoid collision with hard or sharp objects. Cinnabar has high hardness but is brittle; 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 method for maintenance Rub a layer of white tea oil or olive oil onto the finished product, allowing the stone surface to absorb the oil, making it more translucent and bright. If, after applying oil, you 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. Over time, it will become more ancient, simple, and elegant. The actual item is more exquisite and beautiful than the photos.
