Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāAbstract Using gemstone microscope, infrared spectrometer, micro laser Raman spectrometer, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) to test and analyze synthetic and natural cinnabar on the market. The results showed that when synthetic cinnabar was in block form, obvious needle like straight longitudinal stripes were visible, which had significant differences in morphology from natural cinnabar. The aggregation of natural cinnabar often contains white calcite associated minerals, which appear as white clumps or veins on the surface. The luster differs greatly from the diamond luster of the main cinnabar. At the same time, the Se element content of natural cinnabar is much higher than that of synthetic cinnabar, and the Se content can be used as a reference to distinguish the two.
