Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "people wear cinnabar and everything flourishes". Cinnabar, a unique substance in China that contains thousands of years of cultural heritage, can be used as medicine and calligraphy, but it is the darling of jewelry decorations, and it is highly respected because of its sincere color, dense texture and function of communicating with the spirit of heaven and earth. From ancient emperors to ordinary people, they can be used by me and loved by people.
Precautions and key points of cinnabar:
Some cinnabar is red paint sprayed on plastic, and it is white inside after drilling. The content of cinnabar in this kind of jewelry is extremely low; Some surfaces are dark red, which is similar to the products pressed by natural powder directly, but it feels a little pale at first sight, and the interior is also white after drilling. When the merchant sells it to you, it will say that the content is more than 50%, which is not credible.
Handmade cinnabar not only looks dark, but also large and opaque. Not only can't you see the natural mirror, but it also looks like inferior plastic. Natural cinnabar is particularly brittle and cannot be polished because of its high hardness.
