[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 428160, member: 118"]Are there any beads or whatever made of 100% cinnabar. Like a piece carved of red mercuric sulphide ore? I would distinguish between carved red lacquer over wood from the very modern molded resin pieces. I consider cinnabar any object made with layers of lacquer colored with cinnabar powder. Over wood, over metal, porcelain etc. It may not be technically correct but I think that’s what cinnabar is known among collectors nowadays. So, I would not call carved red lacquer fake cinnabar. To me fake is everything else that is make to resemble those.[/QUOTE]
