CINNABAR is a mercury sulfide mineral with a trigonal crystal system and a hardness of 2 to 2.5. Its color is vermilion red. It forms around volcanic vents and hot springs. Cinnabar sometimes forms in conjunction with Quartz, and Cinnabar Quartz is the most beneficial form of Cinnabar for metaphysical use. Cinnabar Quartz stones are talismans of the alchemical transformation-the full manifestation of one’s spiritual blueprint, the fulfillment of the Divine pattern we carry within. This requires burning away the dross of one’s imperfections and refining what remains into the pure essence of the Higher Self. In addition to the first two chakras, Cinnabar Quartz stimulates the third eye, making for greater insight and the ability to see visions of the potential future. It helps one ground one’s visions in physical reality as well. This makes it an ideal stone for creative people as well as business owners, both of whom can use it to actualize their dreams and create prosperity. It can balance and remove blockages in one’s energy body. Cinnabar Quartz is the stone of the Magician archetype. The Magician acts as a conscious conduit between the spiritual and material worlds. If one feels a kinship to the Magician archetype, Cinnabar Quartz car creatively directing subtle energies into manifestation.
