I would appreciate very much if somebody can give me information as to how and where I can buy some bulk pure CINNABAR Mineral.
Who ever gives this information to me would be rewarded with some thing great to remember.
I am at; pitawala.micro@gmail.com or aasakuweer@yahoo.com.sg

There probably are some University researchers out there who have prepared single-crystal synthetic cinnabar also; one would have to do a detailed search. The chemical, HgS, mercuric sulfide is readily available from Alfa Aesar.

I have a lot of massive cinnabar mineral from Almaden (Spain). Maybe interesting for your purpose? how much you need?

I am in Spain for a few days(Malaga at the moment) and am interested in a few kilos of Cinnabar to take back with me as a sample.
Once this is approved, there may be further requirements. please let me know if it is possible to get 1-2kgs of Cinnabar and how I can contact you. My email address is hemant@resourceint.com.
Best Regards,
Hemant.

I am not sure that getting a few kilos of Spanish cinnabar is very realistic unless you are willing to pay quite a high price for it. There are still quite big reserves there, but there is to the best of my knowledge no current exploitation, and so production is nothing. Prices for material on, for example, eBay are relatively high for what are essentially ore samples compared to Chinese material.

I think there is still a certain amount of cinnabar lacquer work done in China, and that undoubtedly is where some of it will wind up. In addition, little square flat cleavage "tiles" of cinnabar are sold in the Chinese medicine market. Cinnabar has a very good cleavage, and from some of the larger crystals 1cm plus size? are broken down into little flat cleavage tiles. These are placed wall to wall in little bamboo double sided glass topped boxes that look a little bit like Reker mounts boxes. The ones I saw in china are small perhaps 3x3 inches, perhaps a little more. There were ones with large cinnabar tiles and ones with smaller ones. The larger ones were all over $100 each. I bought one of the ones with smaller cinnabar cleavages for about $60. I was told that the a person would take one of the little tiles and put it in tea, and the tea then acquired "healthful properties" Eventually the cinnabar tile would turn black and then all the "energy" had gone from it, and a new tile would have to be added to the tea. I suppose I could try and run down a source for cinnabar gravel, But I am sure that the cost would be in the $100 a pound range, and I am sure that they would not want to sell a small quantity of it. Then the cost of making an air shipment would be a minimum of $200 to $300 alone. Almost certainly not worth the trouble. If you could deal directly with the guy in the picture you could probably buy the cinnabar gravel for less than $20 per kg. But that's just a guess. I did not question him about the price or what he was paying the miners for it.
