Materials
Cinnabar Cinnabar or Vermillion is the naturally occurring mineral mercury sulphide (HgS). Inorganic mercury such as the mercury found in cinnabar is the least toxic form of mercury and has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine, ancient Roman makeup, Hindu Bindi forehead marking and Sindoor hair marking but should still be considered toxic and handled with care, especially in powder form. The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention states:
Inorganic Mercury: When eaten in large amounts, some inorganic mercury compounds can be very irritating and corrosive to the digestive system. If repeatedly eaten or applied to the skin over long period of time, some inorganic mercury compounds can cause effects similar to what is seen with long term mercury vapor exposure, including neurological disturbances, memory problems, skin rash, and kidney abnormalities.
There is uncertainty about how poisonous cinnabar is and about the amount required to produce dangerous effects. Scientists generally recommend that we limit our exposure to all mercury compounds, however, including inorganic mercury.
People using cinnabar are warned not to inhale cinnabar dust and to be very careful when breaking the mineral in case dust is created. The mineral mustn’t be ingested or licked. In addition, it mustn’t be heated, which might trigger mercury vapor release. Opinions are divided about whether cinnabar is safe to touch. Mercury (ll) sulfide can be absorbed through the skin, but how much is actually absorbed from a lump of cinnabar mineral is unknown. Since there are unanswered questions about the mineral’s safety, it’s best to wear gloves when handling it.
A very opaque pale green, a little lighter and softer than a tube of mineral green paint I have. It activates slower than the plant-based colors, but it’s still easy to get a rich color from a small amount of chips, and use the same chips repeatedly.
I was surprised at how vibrant a yellow this is. On its own it almost seems to glow. It also mixes with indigo to make a range of really beautiful natural-looking greens.
Really nice set! I am already using the larger set, but using this for my “Plein Air” Sumi-e landscapes when out and about. Great color selection and highly recommended!
My first encounter with gamboge… I cannot compare this yellow to anything I have seen before. The paint chip itself dissolves easily, allowing a couple drop of water on the paint resulted in an intensive colour. When applying on a layer of darker (曙红) petal to paint the stamen it doesn’t cover to well, so it’s worth to leave a free spot for that part if possible.
Comme je l ai noté dès l’arrivée. Bien reçu le mortier et le pilon. J’ai pu le tester avec les pigments rouge cinabre reçus le même jour
Le mortier et le pilon sont vraiment bien conçus avec les fonds râpeux qui permettent un bon broyage. Le bec verseur est très pratique
Je pense en recommander à l’avenir
Très bien arrivé et toujours aussi bien emballé
J ai pu tester le mortier et le pilon reçu le même jour, très bien conçu pour le broyage et apprécier cette superbe couleur cinabre
Gran calidad de estos pigmentos que se disuelven en agua templada. Ideal para dejar hecho en recipiente de cerámica y utilizar a conveniencia. Los tonos son profundos. Muy buena presentación en vidrio y muy buen empaquetado y embalaje. Llegó todo perfecto. Gracias por vuestra profesionalidad
Las doce botellitas de pigmentos en realidad se pueden transformar en infinitos tonos si se mezclan con mimo y paciencia entre si. He conseguido una paleta con mas de 30 nuevos tonos realmente bonitos.
Muy satisfecho con el producto, la presentación, el rendimiento del mismo, y sobre todo, la filosofía que encierra todo ello.
Pura alquimia. Un placer para los 5 sentidos.
Para regalo, el asombro está asegurado. Para uso propio…el deleite idem de idem.
Incluso compraré botellitas sueltas de ciertos colores. Toda una ventaja.
Gracias a INKSTON. ¡¡¡¡
Muy contento con estos pigmentos. Tonos suaves, transparentes y agradables. Se disuelven bien en agua destilada templada. Buena presentación en tarritos de vidrio con tapa hermética.
