Please be aware!) **> Categories** Shuifei Sand, King Cinnabar, Purple Gold Sand, and Crystal Sand all belong to high-content quality cinnabar. Their **main differences lie in color, texture, hardness, and production methods**. **「Shuifei Sand」** **True 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, stirring with water, and then collecting the upper "turbid liquid" after settling. It is then allowed to settle again (purified by the Shuifei method). The bottom cinnabar mud is air-dried and then pressed using ancient methods. Even on a cross-section, uniform, fine mineral shimmers can be seen internally. **「King Cinnabar」** **The color is closer to a true red, with a brighter hue and higher hardness.** The production method involves multiple processes such as **crushing/grinding/magnetic separation/Shuifei/high polishing** from natural raw cinnabar ore for gradual purification, and then pressing using ancient methods. King Cinnabar has almost no external mineral shimmer, but has internal shimmer; the surface adopts a **high-polishing** process to present a metallic texture, especially in sunlight, maximizing the metallic feel. **「Purple Gold Sand」** **The color is a purplish-red, and the hardness is slightly lower than King Cinnabar.** The production method involves multiple processes such as **crushing/grinding/screening** from natural raw cinnabar ore, but **without water purification**. Therefore, the surface is not as delicate and has small, scattered mineral shimmers, giving a "starry sky" effect. **「Crystal Sand」** **The color is purplish-red and translucent.** Large cinnabar particles are directly chipped from the cinnabar ore. Large crystal particles are clearly visible on the surface, which are transparent under light and emit a fluorescent red glow. **> Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvest** **Everything that unfolds, everything poetic, everything beautiful in this world, often happens naturally, just like the turning of the 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, focused and fearless, growing clear growth rings.** **Our handicrafts are the same!!** **> Cinnabar** In the earliest written records, cinnabar was referred to by a single character, "丹" (dān). "丹" is an ideogram. In ancient times, miners dug pits to extract minerals from within. Thus, the character "丹" is actually the character "井" (jǐng, well) with a dot in the middle, signifying the extraction of something from a mine. This "something" is cinnabar. Because cinnabar is red, often a deep red, "朱" (zhū) also means red. Later, "丹砂" (dānshā) was called cinnabar. "丹" and "朱" describe the color, and "砂" describes the shape, referring to irregular granular minerals. The color of cinnabar is exceptionally long-lasting. Chinese calligraphy and painting are known as "丹青" (dānqīng), where "丹" refers to cinnabar. "Eight Treasures Seal Paste," an indispensable pigment, also has cinnabar as its main component. From a Feng Shui perspective, cinnabar is collected from minerals that have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, gathering the positive energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, cinnabar possesses a very strong yang magnetic field. We can observe that jade and other stones feel cool to the touch, while cinnabar feels warm when held. Since ancient times, cinnabar has been used in Taoist rituals such as drawing talismans, consecration, warding off evil, and suppressing malevolent influences. Cinnabar has always been regarded as a supreme item for attracting luck, transforming fortune, suppressing evil, driving away malevolent spirits, inviting blessings, and accumulating wealth. It carries auspicious meanings of great fortune and prosperity, and well-being. 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, detoxifying, and alleviating insomnia and excessive dreaming. Living in modern times, owning one or two cinnabar artifacts can also help cultivate one's character, soothe the eyes, and calm the mind. **> Identification** **All cinnabar products in our store are high-content cinnabar and have a significant 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 directly burn the finished product, as the time and area cannot be controlled. If it turns black after prolonged heating, it cannot be restored.) >. Genuine 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 a complimentary bead to draw the line.) **> 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 corrode cinnabar. 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 mercury sulfide in cinnabar only releases at temperatures of 380 degrees Celsius. Therefore, as long as you avoid exposing cinnabar jewelry to high-temperature environments during normal wear, it is safe to wear. 4. Avoid Collisions with Hard or Sharp Objects. Cinnabar has high hardness but is brittle, so take care 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 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 Apply a layer of white tea oil or olive oil to the finished product, allowing the surface to absorb the oil, making it more crystal clear and bright. If you apply oil and then seal it in a brocade box, you can wrap it with 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 the surface to absorb a thin layer of oil, which will make it appear more antique and elegant over time. The actual item is more exquisite and beautiful than the photos.
