Water-Ground Sand, Imperial Sand, Purple Gold Sand, and Crystal Sand are all considered high-content cinnabar. Their primary distinctions lie in color, texture, hardness, and production methods. Water-Ground Sand: A true Chinese red with a slight orange undertone. The production method involves repeatedly grinding fine cinnabar particles into a paste, mixing with water, and allowing it to settle. The upper "turbid liquid" is collected, then left to sediment again (the water-grinding purification method). The cinnabar mud at the bottom is air-dried and then pressed using ancient methods. Even on the cross-section, uniform, fine shimmering mineral particles can be seen. It is not high-polished, resulting in a warm, matte luster that becomes brighter with wear, developing a patina over time. Imperial Sand: Possesses a deeper red hue, with a brighter luster and higher hardness. The production method involves multiple stages of purification from natural raw cinnabar ore, including **crushing/grinding/magnetic separation/water grinding/high polishing**, followed by ancient pressing techniques. Imperial Sand has almost no visible mineral sheen on the surface, though it is present internally. The surface undergoes **high polishing** to achieve a metallic finish, especially vibrant in sunlight, enhancing its metallic texture. Purple Gold Sand: Features a purplish-red color and is slightly less hard than Imperial Sand. The production method involves multiple stages from natural raw cinnabar ore, including **crushing/grinding/screening**, but **without water purification**. Therefore, the surface is less refined and displays scattered, small shimmering mineral particles, creating a "starry sky" effect. Crystal Sand: Has a purplish-red hue. These are large cinnabar particles directly chipped from cinnabar ore. The surface clearly shows large crystal particles that are translucent under light, emitting a fluorescent red glow. **8-Shaped Weaving Cord**: Also known as "Gourd," symbolizing blessings, prosperity, and continuous success. 【Design Blessing】 **Great fortune and smooth sailing in all endeavors.** 【Order Notice】 **When ordering, please specify your wrist circumference.** **If in stock, it will be shipped within 2 days; if out of stock or made to order, it will be shipped within 3-5 days.
