Title: How to identify the authenticity of cinnabar rough.
Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar and dansha, is a natural mineral that is widely used in painting, calligraphy, jewelry, and other fields because of its bright red color. However, due to the endless emergence of counterfeit and shoddy cinnabar products in the market, it is often difficult for consumers to distinguish the real from the fake when purchasing. This article will detail how to identify the authenticity of cinnabar rough.
First of all, we need to understand the basic properties of cinnabar. The main component of cinnabar is mercury sulfide, and its crystal form is tabular or columnar, and the color is bright red or dark red. Real cinnabar rough will show a unique luster in the sun, which cannot be imitated by other substances. In addition, cinnabar is also magnetic and can be tested with magnets.
Next, we can identify the authenticity of cinnabar rough through the following aspects:
Observe the color: The real cinnabar rough is bright in color and uniform in color. If the color is too dull or uneven, it may be a fake. In addition, the color of real cinnabar will show a unique sheen in the sun, while fake cinnabar does not have this luster.
Check the crystal form: the crystal form of the real cinnabar rough is plate or columnar, if the crystal form is irregular or there are other impurities, it may be a fake.
Test Magnetism: Cinnabar is magnetic and can be tested with magnets. If the cinnabar rough is attracted by magnets, it means that it is genuine;If the magnet doesn't react to it in any way, it could be a fake.
Check the weight: The real cinnabar rough feels heavier, and if it feels light and fluttery, it may be a fake.
Smell: Real cinnabar rough has a unique sulfur smell, and if you don't smell it, it may be a fake.
Water immersion test: When the cinnabar rough is put into water, the real cinnabar will not dissolve, while the fake cinnabar will dissolve in the water.
Fire test: The cinnabar rough is grilled with fire, the real cinnabar will not burn, while the fake cinnabar will burn.
The above seven methods can be used as a reference to identify the authenticity of cinnabar rough, but it should be noted that these methods are not absolute, because some high-imitation fakes may also pass these tests. Therefore, when consumers buy cinnabar rough, it is best to choose a reputable merchant and consult a professional.
In addition, consumers also need to pay attention to the following points when buying cinnabar rough:
Don't be cheap: real cinnabar rough is not cheap, and if you find that a merchant's cinnabar rough is far below the market price, then it is likely to be a fake.
Pay attention to the packaging: Genuine cinnabar rough is usually packaged in professional bags, while fakes may simply be wrapped in plastic bags.
Check the certificate: If the merchant provides a certificate of cinnabar rough, the consumer can ask to see if the information on the certificate matches the actual product.
In general, identifying the authenticity of cinnabar rough requires a certain amount of professional knowledge and experience, and consumers must be cautious when purchasing. At the same time, consumers can also improve their ability to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood by learning relevant knowledge.
Finally, although there are some counterfeit and shoddy products in the market of cinnabar rough, as long as consumers master the correct identification method, they can still buy real cinnabar rough.
