Cinnabar Pixiu is one of the most fascinating Feng Shui symbols I’ve come across.
The combination of deep red cinnabar and the Pixiu “money beast” is believed to attract wealth while protecting against negative energy. I also find the traditions around wearing it interesting — especially the idea of wearing it on the left hand to receive luck and abundance.https://auraandluck.com/blogs/culture-symbolism/cinnabar-pixiu-meaning-symbolism

how about a #MacroMonday #MineralMonday photostack?
this came to me as unlabeled cutting rough, I've tentatively ID'd as Cinnabar on Dolomite & won't be cutting it

Garry Shaw in The Art Newspaper:
Ancient Maya city of Ucanal was contaminated with mercury, study reveals
Newly published research shows just how pervasive mercury—an essential element in the red cinnabar pigment favoured by the Maya—is at the site in Guatemala -

Just a safety note: CINNABAR is toxic (it's an ore of mercury) -- some of the oldest cases of mecury poisoning were from the use of cinnabar, 5000 years ago. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/love-of-wine-leads-to-chance-discovery-of-widespread-mercury-poisoning-in-copper-age-180979091/ #cinnabar #mercury #toxicity

So I had to go remind myself what #stibnite is because frankly I'm more used to seeing "antimony" still, but...
as much as #sodalite is fun and pretty... listen, it's not chaos. Stibnite is basically chaos in most of its historical uses, iirc!
Also it often co-occurs with things like #realgar, #cinnabar, #orpiment, and #galena... now that's some fun chaos company. Vote Stibnite for chaos!! #MinCup23

#quartz is nice and I'm glad for crystal derived time, but I voted #cinnabar. Quartz is omnipresent, but the trip with single digit aged me and my dad and the guide to Obermoschel was unique. I'm working with quartz for clock signals, have some nice oscillators (Rb Controlled, heated) but my picture shows an old russian low frequency quartz bar I'm didn't come around to use yet. #mincup23 #teamquartz

@NadWGab #Cinnabar has the exact same symmetry as #quartz ! They are both trigonal with space group 3(1) 2 1 ( @MineralCup cleverness)
They both lack a center of inversion, and they are both piezoelectric.
One could imagine a heavy-metal tolerant species sporting cinnabar-resonator timepieces.

Still on the fence between #Quartz and #Cinnabar? Did you know that chert is another name for microcrystalline quartz? So is flint (a variety of chert). Flint gave early humans fire, arrow tips, and other tools, it was the first mineral mined, supposedly.
Does #Link go around looking for cinnabar? Is cinnabar featured in #minecraft? Heck no. #MinCup23 #TeamQuartz -
Here's a quick fact sheet for match 2 in #MinCup23:
#Cinnabar
HgS
Name: traceable to the Persian zinjifrah likely meaning dragon's blood
Occurrence: low-temperature hydrothermal veins
Neat fact: mined in Neolithic times and used as pigment and to extract mercury#Quartz
SiO2
Name: possibly of Slavic or German origin (Querklufterz - aren't you glad it got abbreviated)
Occurrence: hydrothermal, igneous and metamorphic rocks, sandstone
Neat fact: piezoelectric -
C'mon folks, go to #MineralCup at https://www.mineralcup.org/2023/campaigns/round-1-match-2 and put your vote in for #Quartz! Quartz is the working stiff of #Minerals, the everyman, it's the Joad family of minerals, basically. Sure #cinnabar is pretty, it's splashy, and is an important mercury ore mineral, it's worthy, but can you count on it when the chips are down and you need to build a road, or make a sandcastle? Why do these people hate #sandcastles? That's like hating #kittens. #MinCup23 #TeamQuartz

Cinnabar in Chinese folklore was associated with the Vermilion Bird of the South, and one of the main ingredients of immortality pills in Chinese alchemy (ironically, since it's toxic, and if you eat it you'll get the opposite of immortal...)

New video this Sunday! In episode 12 of our Off The Beaten Track series we explore Cypress Mountain Drive near Paso Robles in California, and along the way learn a little about Cinnabar and unintended consequences. ETA Sunday AM Pacific time, we’ll post a link here on Sunday too! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Episodes 1 - 11 of Off The Beaten Track are here: https://four.wheel.travel/off-the-beaten-track/

#Cinnabar #moth #caterpillars on #ragwort here this week.
First noticed a small number here about three years ago.
This year they are everywhere.
Ragwort - a much maligned #wildflower - is the larval food plant of this magnificent moth.
Delighted to see them thrive here.
