Cinnabar Meaning and Properties

Cinnabar is a mercury sulfide mineral usually bright red in color but can be more brown-toned if impurities are present. Due to the mercury content care should be exercised when handling.

When combined with Quartz forms a stone whereby the mineral is bound with the Quartz, making it safer to handle and which in turn magnifies the energy of the Cinnabar. This is also known as Cinnabarite.

The frequency of Cinnabar connects to the base, sacral, and third eye chakras. It activates and stimulates the base and sacral chakras so that one feels “vital”, also stimulating Kundalini energies.


It allows one to be creative in one’s thoughts and actions, to manifest in the third dimension that which one desires.

The energy of this crystal is that of transformation, allowing for the alignment and balancing of energy within one’s chakras and energy fields by removing blockages so that one can transform negativity to manifest the Divine essence of one’s soul.
