Cinnabar in Quartz Tumblestones
Cinnabar in Quartz Tumblestones
Tumblestones or tumbled stones have been tumbled with grit in a large tumbling machine to create a polished surface that is pleasant to hold and is also good for reflecting the colour of the stone. They are a great, inexpensive way to get to know crystals and to start building your collection. They are also perfect tools for healing and gridmaking.
The pieces in th photograph are the £5 size.
These tumblestones are our 'standard stock' and we usually have many available. They all pass Sue's quality test, but since they are natural stones there will be some variation in appearance. You may not receive the item in the photograph.
Cinnabar is a major mercury ore and so needs careful handling. You should wash your hands after holding Cinnabar. Here it is in Quartz, so is relatively stable but it is still best to take care and it should not be used to make an essence in the traditional way.
There are few red minerals, and Cinnabar is the lovely raspberry colour in the white. It is very energetic and transformational, so is a good energy to bring in if you feel stuck and ready for a change.
Cinnabar is said to aid communication but I don’t have experience of this myself.
