Cinnabar, AGAIN...

[SuzanneHye]

I've lost the original thread to the cinnabar question - oh well - anyway,
several people mentioned that today's cinnabar is carved wood which has been
lacquered (or carved resin.) The Bead Society of Greater Washington, at their
twice-annual bead bazaar, has a bead i.d. table. One year they had a connabar
bead which had been deconstructed. What I learned was this: it is the LACQUER
that is carved, not the wood!

I personally love cinnabar - I have used it successfully with poppy jasper,
balck onyx, and most recently, African turquoise. You can look at my newest
necklace using cinnabar here:

Do you have a source you can share for this cinnabar bead, Suzanne? It's
gorgeous!

Oooh, that's pretty Suzanne. Interesting info about the laquer being carved
and not the wood! I adore cinnabar.

I have 4 of them in stock - they measure a little more than 1-3/4", quite
substantial. The picture of my necklace shows the dragon side of the piece, if
you look here:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/shye22/cinreverse.jpg

you can see the reverse, which is a flower and Chinese characters. They are
$4.50. Shipping would be .75.
