The best cinnabar, the output is rare, and it will transmit light when exposed to light. The product can be directly ground, polished, and punched.

Under suitable geological conditions, naturally formed crystals have a metallic luster and feel like bright silver when used.

The cinnabar that fell off from the veins due to the movement of the earth's crust formed various honeycomb-shaped holes through sediment erosion after falling off, resulting in a natural and beautiful shape. Compared with raw ore cinnabar, the quality is pure.

The processing process does not require polishing, only cleaning, so the raw materials are greatly saved. Therefore, although the quality is higher than that of raw ore, the price is lower than that of raw ore cinnabar.

It has a metallic luster and feels like bright silver upon application.

Natural cinnabar of very good color and quality, with a purity of more than 90%, is a first-grade sand, and the others are impurities. In the product, cinnabar: resin glue = 9:1

The color is distinguished by the amount of impurities and whether it is transparent or not. The price per gram is higher than that of rootless sand, and the grinding and polishing process consumes more raw materials. Most products: random pendants, bracelets, and hand-carved ones.

It has a metallic luster and feels like bright silver upon application.

Raw ore red sand

black mine

Raw cinnabar ore is used as raw material, and it is mined, crushed, screened and other traditional methods. It is not heat treated during the process. The internal structure of cinnabar will not be changed during processing. It is usually used for religious purposes and high-grade pigments.

There are many semi-raw stones in the rough, and the color is distinguished by the full color and amount. Generally there are blood sand and soapstone. The difference between blood sand and soapstone is that blood sand contains more sand.

Also called imperial sand, it is first-grade sand. It is pressed with raw ore powder, with a purity of more than 90%, and other impurities. The product contains cinnabar: resin glue = 8:2

It is made by pressing raw ore powder. Compared with the red color of powder-pressed red sand, the surface will be purple-red.

The most common in the market, with the most fake products, is made from cinnabar, which is pressed as raw material (commonly known as cinnabar powder).

Distinguishing authenticity: scratches on fire-burned paper

Black, black sand close to the original ore, artificially purified and then polished, the purity is 40%, the rest are impurities, the proportion of product and resin depends on the seller's conscience

Process: The reduced sand is purified at high temperature, and the cinnabar is refined into mercury at high temperature, and then cooled and processed. When searching for "natural cinnabar" on a certain website, 80% of the results are reduced sand.

Red, close to raw ore red sand

Craftsmanship: Also polished by hand. The reduction ore is different. The reduction ore is heated at high temperature to remove the impurities in the cinnabar, and then cooled and processed. You see less of the reduction mine.

Water flying sand is obtained by refining raw cinnabar at high temperature to obtain mercury, and then the mercury is reduced to cinnabar through technical means. It is characterized by higher purity. After treatment, other components such as sulfur and calcite are filtered out.

Artificial

natural

The red sand pressed by cinnabar powder ground into reduced sand is redder and brighter in color than the red sand pressed by natural water flying sand, while the red sand pressed by natural water flying sand is more orange in color.
