This Cinnabar rough specimen, measuring approximately 2 inches wide and weighing 132 grams, showcases rich ruby red crystalline formations embedded in its natural matrix. Highly valued by mineral collectors and geological enthusiasts, this piece represents the deep, vivid beauty that makes Cinnabar so captivating—and rare.
Known as the primary ore of mercury, Cinnabar has a complex and storied history. Used in ancient cultures for pigments and spiritual purposes, it is now collected for its natural beauty and geological significance, rather than physical handling. The deep red coloration and glassy crystal texture make this specimen a striking addition to any collection or display.
Due to its mercury sulfide composition, Cinnabar is considered toxic if improperly handled, and should be treated with care. It is not recommended for metaphysical or wearable use—this is a display-only collector’s mineral, revered for its energy, appearance, and historic value.
