Properties:

This is, arguably, the most cherished cinnabar in the world. It has been very difficult for us to obtain ample quantities because of its rarity and we do have a very limited supply.

Among all stones and minerals, cinnabar is most often included in ancient Chinese formularies. You can barely find an ancient prescription without some inclusion of cinnabar because of its ultimate alchemical power. If change is what you seek, cinnabar and mercury (quicksilver) are essential.

This is pure cinnabar (no matrix at all) from the Almaden Mine in Spain where the cave is said to "bleed" silver mercury. Like it's sweating mercury beads from the walls! There are even mercury waterfalls in the mine! This is rough, and completely natural. The depth of its essence and power is truly astounding. Bring respect and love. Work with clarity of intention and humility. Learn the full amazing story of cinnabar in our yearly Fall certification course, Enter the Cave.

* Please respect this stone! Never ingest this stone or make an elixir with it unless you fully understand indirect methods. It can touch the skin for short periods of time for most people. Very few people could be allergic and get a skin reaction. Work with it from inside a specimen case, quartz test tube, or other simple shield like a small clear bag. Be sure the color shines through, it’s a big part of the subtle vibrational work this stone holds. Red is the most rare color among all stones and this is a powerful one.
