Please be aware!) **> Category** Shui Fei Sand, Emperor Sand, Zi Jin Sand, and Crystal Sand are all high-content quality cinnabar. Their **main differences lie in color, texture, hardness, and manufacturing methods.** **"Shui Fei Sand"** A true red with a slight orange hue. Its surface has a warm, matte finish that becomes glossier with wear, developing a protective patina. The manufacturing process involves repeatedly grinding fine cinnabar particles into a paste, mixing with water, allowing it to settle, and collecting the upper "cloudy liquid." This is then allowed to settle again (the "water-floating" purification method). The cinnabar mud at the bottom is air-dried and then formed using traditional pressing techniques. Even on a cross-section, fine, uniform mineral sparkle can be observed. **"Emperor Sand"** A brighter, more vibrant red with higher hardness. Its production involves multiple stages of purification from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, water-floating, and high polishing**. It is then formed using traditional pressing methods. Emperor Sand has almost no visible mineral sparkle on the surface, though it is present internally. The surface is treated with a **high-polishing** process to achieve a metallic sheen, especially dazzling in sunlight. **"Zi Jin Sand"** A purplish-red hue with slightly lower hardness than Emperor Sand. Its production involves multiple stages from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing, grinding, and screening**, but it **does not undergo water-floating purification**. As a result, the surface is less refined and features small, scattered mineral sparkles, creating a "starry sky" effect. **"Crystal Sand"** A translucent purplish-red color. These are large cinnabar particles directly chipped from the ore. The distinct crystal grains are clearly visible on the surface. Under light, they appear transparent and emit a fluorescent red glow. > Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvest **All things that unfold, that are poetic, that are beautiful in this world, often happen naturally, just like the changing seasons.** **Learn to slow down, clear your mind, treat life with gentleness, respect the power of time, and let everything grow naturally. Like a tree, grow with focus and without fear, developing clear growth rings.** **Our handcrafted pieces are made with the same philosophy!!** > Care Instructions 1.
