Cinnabar is a toxic mercury sulfide mineral with a chemical composition of HgS. It is the only important ore of mercury. It has a bright red color that has caused people to use it as a pigment and carve it into jewelry and ornaments for thousands of years in many parts of the world.
In this video I answer that question. Cinnabar are the red crystals in the photo below. The proper mineral name for Cinnabar happens to be Mercury sulfide. Cinnabar has a Mohs hardness (thatâs a term we use to determine how hard it is) of 2 to 2.5. That means itâs relatively soft, meaning it can easily be scratched & can flake off.
