How to distinguish the real from the fake with the real cinnabar, and how to distinguish the real fr

The ways to distinguish the authenticity of cinnabar are:**It is a lumpy or granular aggregate, granular or lumpy, bright red or dark red, streaked red or dark red, shiny, weight, brittle, flaky and fragile, powdery with flashing luster, odorless and tasteless.

The counterfeit product is in powder form, dark reddish-brown, with a small number of regular particles, the particles are shiny, weight, firm, odorless, and tasteless. The powder of the product is dyed by hand, heated by direct fire, and the dark reddish-brown color fades quickly, showing a silver-gray powder.

When identifying the authenticity of cinnabar, you can use a lighter to light it, the appearance and shape of the real cinnabar will not change, and the fake cinnabar will be ignited and melted into ashes. You can also heat cinnabar in a test tube, real cinnabar will hang mercury beads on the wall of the test tube, and fake cinnabar will dye the wall of the test tube a pale red. You can also put cinnabar in the water, the real cinnabar will not fade, and the fake cinnabar will dye the water pale red.

1. Heat over fire.

Cinnabar can be heated by fire to distinguish the real from the fake. When you light cinnabar with a lighter, the real cinnabar will not change its original shape and color when it is ignited. When lit, false cinnabar burns completely, melting into ashes, giving off a pungent odor.

2. Test tube heating.

You can also take some cinnabar in the test tube to seal and heat, real cinnabar will appear mercury beads or mercury mirror hanging on the test tube wall, and false cinnabar will be dyed light red after the test tube wall is heated, and there will be a small part of the silver-gray particles.

3. Put it in water.

You can also put some cinnabar in a beaker with clear water and observe its changes after a while. Real cinnabar does not stain water and has a dark red sediment. False cinnabar stains the water a reddish color and gives it a silvery-grey precipitate.

Clause.

1. Wrap it in tin foil and heat it.

You can use a certain amount of cinnabar to wrap it in tin foil and heat it, the color first turns brown and then black, and there is a popping sound, it will appear gelatinous after liquefaction, and it will repeatedly bubble, it will not ash off after burning for a long time, and there will be traces of honeycomb after cooling, and there is no other change after heating in this way except that the color will become black.

Hello, dear! I'm glad to answer your questions, I'm Xiao Lin'er! I've seen your question and I'm sorting out the answer, please don't worry, if there are a lot of people, you need to wait a while! Thank you for your understanding!! 

The test tube is heated, and the real cinnabar is put into the test tube and heated to have mercury beads or mercury mirrors.

1.Weight. Real cinnabar is very heavy, and it will feel like a pressure on your hand when you hold it in your hand. Some fake cinnabar is made of plastic, which is very light in the hand, sticky to the touch, and has a strong plastic feeling.

2. Hand feel. Real cinnabar is warm and delicate, giving people the feeling of jade, and the surface will have a certain luster. Fake cinnabar has a rough and dry texture and does not feel good in the hand.

3.Color. Real cinnabar is natural and smart, mainly bright red or maroon, with impurities on the surface and obvious color layering. Fake cinnabar is brightly colored, gives the impression of floating on the surface, and fades easily.

4.Surface properties.

The surface texture of real cinnabar is rough, the particle distribution and color are uneven, and it contains black or white impurities. The surface texture of the fake cinnabar is too evenly distributed, and it looks regular and flawless.

5.Exegesis. The surface gloss of real cinnabar is very good, mainly diamond luster. False cinnabar has a rough texture, many internal impurities, a dull surface gloss, and a resinous luster.

6.Part. The cross-section of real cinnabar has distinct crystalline grains that look like sequins or highlights with a metallic luster. The cross-section of false cinnabar has no crystalline particles and is very smooth.

7.Scratch experiment.

Real and fake cinnabar can be identified by scratch experiments: after the real cinnabar is scratched on white paper, a clear red line will be seen. Fake cinnabar is mostly synthetic, and there will be no traces after it is scratched on white paper.

8.Immersion experiments.

True cinnabar is not afraid of water and does not change after being soaked in clear water. False cinnabar dyeing, put into water, the color of the water will become reddish, and the sediment will be silvery-gray.

9.Fire experiments.

Wrap in cinnabar foil and heat. Real cinnabar will gradually turn black when heated, but it will return to its original color when cooled. False cinnabar does not return to its true color when heated and blackened, and it is accompanied by a pungent plastic smell when burned.

The above are nine ways to distinguish the authenticity of cinnabar. It is important to note that the last four aspects of the article (cross-section, scratch test, immersion test, burn test) are destructive test methods that can destroy the integrity of cinnabar samples. It is not recommended for non-professionals in everyday life.

Visually it is real cinnabar.

Cinnabar bracelets.

Cinnabar is a mineral and a medicinal herb. Depending on where it is produced, the color of cinnabar is also different. Bright red, bright red, and dark red are common.

Because it is a mineral, there are many magazines of natural cinnabar. The most common colors for magazines are yellow, white, and purple. Because raw cinnabar has a very low hardness and is more brittle than chalk, it can be easily broken.

In view of the above two points, raw cinnabar cannot be used as jewelry at all. On the other hand, cinnabar is not an expensive ornament, but it is not cheap either. It takes a lot of materials to make ornaments from raw ore, which can then be made into a variety of complex shapes.

It is also technically demanding and unpredictably costly. Therefore, the mainstream practice in the market is to grind raw cinnabar stone into powder, purify it through technology, remove toxicity, and then make it into various shapes! A few simple ways to identify:

One, the most commonly used one – knock. Real cinnabar jewelry, after knocking, the color inside and outside is the same. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Generally, when drilling, the temperature is very high because it rotates very quickly when drilling. The cinnabar at the entrance of the cave will turn white at high temperatures, otherwise it should be a very uniform red. Also, if it is a plastic bead, the general beads will only flatten when they are smashed, while the real cinnabar will crack when they are smashed.

Because many people believe in weight, many unscrupulous merchants will add a large amount of industrial black lead to the production process, so that the weight of the jewelry will increase a lot. When this kind of jewelry is knocked open, you will see obvious black spots or lumps, and some will also add phosphor, a phenomenon called metallic glitter. These are basically very little content!

Second, fire plastic jewelry will burn well, and lighting it with a lighter will melt and burn. In the end, there was almost nothing left. When real cinnabar is ignited, it does not burn completely.

After the flame is extinguished, it will maintain its shape without breaking, such as a ball will remain spherical and so on. However, when they burn, they smell a pungent odor. This is because cinnabar ornaments should be shaped by adding some vegetable glue during the shaping process, otherwise cinnabar ornaments are easy to break.

Third, the water test method cinnabar is really not afraid of water, so it will not fade when it encounters water. Grab some water and put your cinnabar ornament in it. After a while, it is a dyed fake that fades, and what does not fade is **.

Be careful not to touch shampoos, shampoos, etc., as these daily necessities contain chemicals that can corrode cinnabar. These are some simple ways to identify. Finally, let me tell you about the most confusing fake cinnabar.

This kind of jewelry, the banner of the general merchant is that the scraped pink is red, if it is white, it is fake. The truth of the matter is that white is not necessarily fake, and a lot of it is imitation. This kind of jewelry is made with the same craftsmanship as the red bricks used to build houses.

It is also red when knocked open, but generally the particles are obvious, the particles are very coarse and large, and the weight is not light. It's easy for non-professionals to get confused.

1. Natural ghost fairy cinnabar is a granular or lumpy aggregate, which is a block or fine granules of different sizes. The surface of the larger block is dark red, the surface of the fine flakes or granulars is bright red, the irregular flakes are bright red, bright as a mirror, and the hand is not stained by touch, with diamond luster, translucent. Brittleness, hardness 2, specific gravity, streaks vermilion to maroon.

2. Synthetic cinnabar is purple-red irregular lumps or vermilion granules and powders. Insoluble in strong acids, soluble in sodium sulfide and aqua regia.

3. Physical and chemical identification of cinnabar:

When heated in a closed-mouth test tube, it becomes black mercury sulfide; When sodium carbonate is added for coheating, it becomes a metal mercury ball.

It is burned in an open pipe to produce sulphur dioxide gas and metallic mercury balls.

After the fine powder is soaked with hydrochloric acid, the smooth copper sheet is rubbed on it, and the surface of the copper sheet is silvery-white.

Summary. The color of cinnabar is mostly bright, mostly dark red or bright red, the streaked part is bright red, and most of the fake cinnabar is made of dyeing, the color gives people the feeling of floating on the surface, mainly maroon, there is no sense of agility.

How to distinguish the authenticity of cinnabar.

After continuous washing, the real cinnabar will show translucency, and the gloss on the surface is very good, mainly showing the luster of diamond, while the false cinnabar is rougher in texture, with more impurities inside, not transparent, and the gloss on the surface is dull.

After soaking in water, the real cinnabar will not change in any way, while the color of the fake cinnabar is mostly made of dyeing, and after being placed in the water, the color of the water will become light red, and the sediment is silver-gray.

I won't read it either.

Received from. I think.

It's true. Rest assured, really.

I'm running out of my phone, why are you so sure it's true?

Definitely, I wouldn't be so confident.
