Cinnabar is the more stable form, and is a structure akin to that of HgO: each Hg center has two short Hg−S bonds (each 2.36 Å), and four longer Hg···S contacts (with 3.10, 3.10, 3.30 and 3.30 Å separations). In addition, HgS is found in a black, non-cinnabar polymorph (metacinnabar) that has the zincblende structure. [5]
The Wakasugiyama Cinnabar Mine (若杉山辰砂採掘遺跡, Wakasugiyama shinshasaikutsu iseki) is an archaeological site with the traces of a late Yayoi to early Kofun period cinnabar production site, located in the Suii neighborhood of the city of Anan, Tokushima on the island of Shikoku in Japan.
Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) caterpillar feeding on a Senecio. The seed of common groundsel is a good green food for canaries and finches and it is available all year round. [9] Senecio vulgaris seed has been found in the droppings of sparrows, and seedlings have been raised from the excreta of various birds. Seed has also been found in cow ...
Its leaves are found only at the end of its youngest branches; its leaves are all shed every three or four years as new leaves simultaneously mature. Branching tends to occur when the growth of the terminal bud is stopped, through either flowering or traumatic events (e.g. herbivory).
Cinnabar moths are about 20 mm (0.79 in) long and have a wingspan of 32–42 mm (1.3–1.7 in). Cinnabar moths are day-flying insects with distinctive pinkish-red and black wings. There is little variation in patterning, although on rare occasions the red markings may be replaced with yellow, or the forewing is entirely red with a black border ...
Parenchyma is a versatile ground tissue that generally constitutes the "filler" tissue in soft parts of plants. It forms, among other things, the cortex (outer region) and pith (central region) of stems, the cortex of roots, the mesophyll of leaves, the pulp of fruits, and the endosperm of seeds.
When Chinese lacquerware and the ground cinnabar used to color it were exported to Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, European collectors considered it to be finer than the European vermilion. In 1835, "Chinese vermilion" was described as a cinnabar so pure that it only had to be ground into powder to become a perfect vermilion.
It is the high temperature form and trimorphous with cinnabar (trigonal structure) and the higher temperature hypercinnabar (hexagonal structure). It occurs with cinnabar in mercury deposits and is associated with native mercury, wurtzite, stibnite, marcasite, realgar, calcite, barite, chalcedony and hydrocarbons. [2]
