cinnabar carving with chinese engrave

cinnabar is thought to be a stone of manifestation: it brings things into being. (It is especially popular among those seeking wealth, assertiveness and romance.) For wealth generation, it is recommended to keep cinnabar close to the register or check-out--wherever the business takes in money. Sales people are encouraged to wear cinnabar, as it lifts their self-assurance and persuasive power. Cinnabar is said to aid those who seek love as well, making them manifest their best and most attractive selves--and breaking through inhibitions and self-doubts.
Although not a birthstone, cinnabar is affiliated with the zodiac sign Leo. It is often associated with the base and sacral chakras.
