The most important active centers located along the spine are the seven so-called chakras. They consist of nerve nodes, blood and lymph vessels. Chakras are original batteries and at the same time generators of Qi bioenergy. Each chakra corresponds to certain vibrations, such as color (wavelength) or the sounds of a special mantra (sound vibrations). The lower chakras (from the first to the third) resonate with the low frequencies of the Earth, and the upper ones (from the fourth to the seventh) respond to the high-frequency vibrations of the Cosmos.

Thus, the human body is considered as an open system, part of the general energy system “Earth-Space”. Indian healers knew how to influence the chakras with the help of precious stones, which also had certain frequency characteristics. Either “Yin” stones, which “draw out” pain and weaken excess energy, or “Yang” stones, which were able to “feed” energy, excite and stimulate, were placed on diseased organs, points or corresponding chakras. Below are brief descriptions of the chakras and their effects on humans.

In this regard, the technique of ancient eastern healers is fundamentally different from the practice of Western astrologers, who select stones for people only in accordance with the data of their horoscopes and date of birth. Often people do not even suspect that their illness is associated with the wrong choice of jewelry. Below is a list of the chakras along with the gemstones and minerals that can have a stimulating positive effect on them.

To balance your chakras, you need to lie down for 10 minutes and put crystals on them, pointing the tops towards your head. Do this twice a week. If you only have one crystal, start with the bottom chakra, moving up the body and leaving for approximately 3-5 minutes on each chakra, and ending with the crown chakra. But remember that the crystal healing process is strictly intuitive. You must understand that crystals themselves are only a tool with which you can improve your health. You have the power, not the crystal itself.

The safest and most universal for all chakras is colorless, defect-free rhinestone(crystals). But you can use for each chakra a stone corresponding to this chakra color(lilac amethyst or charoite on the parietal chakra, blue topaz or blue lapis lazuli on the third eye area, bright green emerald or amazonite on the heart area, golden citrine or tiger's eye on the solar plexus, bright orange carnelian on the umbilical chakra, red ruby ​​or carnelian on muladhara, etc.). The stone can also be held on your palms in front of a specific chakra. This is the most accessible and safe method of influencing the chakras. Meditation time is no more than 15-20 minutes.

General information about chakras and their properties

According to various spiritual teachings, before incarnation in the physical body, our soul is on the etheric level, where it consists of particles of shining white light. This light is often described by people who have experienced a state of closeness to death. Particles of light, or soul, are our individual vibration. It is as unique and inimitable as fingerprints or DNA. In our body, this white light is divided into seven colors of the rainbow, which are concentrated in seven chakras. Each chakra corresponds to certain characteristics and aspects of our life.

The chakras feed on the energy of the colors that we see in our homes, in nature, food and clothing (including overactively they perceive the energy of stones, minerals, crystals, stone balls and pyramids). By learning to stimulate and perceive this energy, you can change your life for the better. To understand how you can use colors to adjust your energy and create harmony and balance around yourself, you must first understand how the chakras are structured and operate. If you have a weak chakra and lack of energy in it, use or wear stones of the appropriate color as jewelry for its gentle and non-violent opening. This harmonizing method does not harm the body and is completely safe. Moreover, this the only safe method of direct impact on the chakras, which you can safely do on your own. Wear white and ideally colorless (transparent) stones to strengthen the entire overall aura of the body (united harmonization).

Color is one of the important natural and healing components that constantly affects us. Color influences almost everything in our lives - from the choice of clothes to our mood. The better you understand the mechanism of this effect, the more effectively you can use color to improve your life and the world as a whole. You can use the color of minerals in a targeted manner. If you have already experienced the general influence of stones on your chakras, you can meditate by calmly and relaxed holding in your open palms a stone (crystals, pyramid, ball, cylinders) of the corresponding color to the chakra at the level of the chakra whose color it strictly corresponds to and which you want to strengthen. This is also a fairly safe method, but requires more caution. To begin with, use only those colors that correspond to this chakra. Most often this is enough. For non-violent weakening or harmonization of a particular chakra, it is safest to use white stones that are pure, free of impurities and cracks, meditating with them at the chakra level (harmonization). Balls have the most gentle effect, while natural crystals have the most powerful effect.

The energy center of human self-expression is the Vishuddha throat chakra. Translated from Sanskrit “ shuddi” - cleansing. Full of purity, this chakra is located in the throat area and is responsible for communication. It transmits our true intentions to the outside world, and is also connected with all aspects of communication, including with our own “I”.

The Vishuddha chakra is responsible for human communication, his ability to communicate with other people, find a common language and compromise. The work of this chakra is extremely important, as it helps to convey one’s own thoughts, feelings, and sensations to others in a clear and accessible form. After all, it is important not only what we think, but also how we present it. Simply put, the Vishuddha chakra can be called a kind of translator, a transformer of one’s own consciousness. Thanks to it, a person gains the ability to formulate and express thoughts, ideas, and form images. The more developed the chakra, the more a person recognizes himself and is aware of what is happening inside him.

Another important quality of the chakra is the ability to defend one’s point of view. This is not only oratory skills, but also the ability to clearly express your thoughts without allowing yourself to be confused. Every person has a desire for truth and justice. Our individual feelings are often controlled by social norms, but blindly following rules is not always good. A person is able to act and think based on internal feelings, in accordance with his conscience and his integrity, without coming into conflict with social laws.

Vishuddha also stimulates a sense of responsibility. First of all, it is responsibility for oneself, one’s constant development, personal and social life.

The chakra of sexuality and creativity is closely related to Vishuddha and is also responsible for creative abilities. The throat chakra raises the creative principle to the level of direct creative expression. Thanks to her, abilities are embodied in a creative product: a dance, a song, a poem, a painting, etc.

The importance of the throat chakra is not only the ability to express yourself, it also allows you to hear. The ability to hear both oneself and others helps a person to more deeply understand what is happening. Listening skills develop calmness, confidence and the ability to make objective judgments. This is the only way to understand your inner world and the outer world.

Often, when the functioning of the Vishuddha chakra is disrupted, a conflict between the personality and the body arises. A person does not listen to his own body, its needs and desires. Another problem may be the inability to find a balance between emotions and logic. In this case, the person may have difficulty expressing their feelings or mentally prohibit the expression of certain feelings. Throat chakra disharmony can also result in low self-esteem and self-criticism.

Overactivity of the chakra manifests itself as fussiness, emotional incontinence, impulsiveness, inattention, tongue-tiedness, or, conversely, excessive talkativeness. Such people are ready to give advice to everyone, without thinking about what a person actually needs. On the other hand, the activity of the chakra with high personal growth gives a socially active active person. A deficiency of chakra energy manifests itself in isolation, shyness, fear of publicity and attention. The desire to remain unnoticed aggravates the situation, eliminating the possibility of somehow developing chakra energy. Such people have low sense of purpose, and it is not that they do not have a goal, but that they consider themselves unable to achieve it or unworthy of having it.

Each of the seven chakras affects certain human organs. In the case of the Vishuddha chakra, these are the larynx, thyroid gland, vocal cords, and the upper part of the lungs. Physical manifestations of disruption of its functioning may include speech delay, infectious diseases of the throat, vocal cords, inflammatory processes and hearing problems.

The harmonious color for the chakra is all shades of blue. They help a person to perceive incoming information more easily and simply. He becomes capable of a deeper understanding of the knowledge that he receives in communication with other people.

Stones affecting the Vishuddha chakra: azurite, aquamarine, amazonite, belomorite, turquoise, blue lace agate, blue topaz, blue calcite, pearl, kyanite, kunzite, lapis lazuli, sapphire, blue tourmaline, sodalite, chrysocolla, celestine.

Turquoise
from Persian “ firuza” - the stone of happiness is one of the most popular ornamental and semi-precious stones of bluish-greenish shades from ancient times to this day. This beautiful stone is valued by many peoples and is surrounded by secrets and legends. The ancient Egyptians carved scarabs from turquoise, which were symbols of peace for them. The Persians presented it as a gift as a sign of love and attraction. Among the peoples of Asia and the Caucasus, turquoise was and is an indispensable element of the bride’s wedding dress. Among the Aztecs, turquoise symbolized health, well-being and was considered a military talisman.

Turquoise brings happiness in love, establishes peace in the family, attracts friends and evokes sympathy for its owner. It brings well-being and prosperity, enhances intuition, gives confidence and positive emotions, and reduces irritability. Turquoise helps its owner to concentrate, understand the meaning of life, determine what goals he should achieve, and keeps him from vanity and fruitless actions.

Main deposits: Iran, USA, Brazil, Chile, Australia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, China.

Crystals for Vishuddha chakra:

Lapis lazuli helps its owner to easily and clearly express his thoughts and defend his point of view. It also has a beneficial effect on musical talent and allows one to achieve great heights in its implementation.

Aquamarine helps not only to confidently express your thoughts, but also to control other people, enhancing the power of speech and the power of speech. Journalists, teachers, writers, and those who engage in public speaking are advised to carry this stone with them.

Sapphire, interacting with the energy of the chakra, helps maintain mental clarity, making a person more resourceful. Facilitates the transfer of knowledge and information, makes human communication more effective, and thoughts more accessible to other people, protects a person from outside influences.

Despite the crazy pace of modern life, always find time for solitude and peace. Listen to your body, embrace your creativity, and advocate for your own point of view. Only by knowing yourself can you know the world around you. Manage and differentiate all your internal processes. Now you can decide which ones to send to the outside world, which ones to keep inside, and which ones to get rid of. 🙂

I opened a series of posts dedicated to chakras - human energy centers, channels of vital energy - prana. Today we will talk about Svadhisthana - the second chakra or the chakra of sexuality.

It is located in the groin area above the pubic bone and is associated with pleasure motives. If at the Muladhara level a person is concerned with primary needs: safety, comfort, then the Svadhistana level is the perception of the world through sensual pleasure, pleasure. Moreover, not only material pleasure (from sex, alcohol, food, etc.), but pleasure from life in general, because this is the chakra of cheerfulness. Svadhisthana is associated with the color orange. It excites, gives a boost of strength, improves mood, stimulates sexual activity.

Svadhisthana is called the chakra of sexuality and birth, but this should not be taken in monosyllables. In addition to sexual function, this chakra is focused on human creative self-realization. That is, birth is considered here as the direct implementation of what a person intended, the realization of his creative potential, the transformation of the energy of creativity into real embodiments. With the participation of Svadhisthana, potential is developed, ways and schemes for the realization of talents and personal characteristics are formed.

To develop this chakra, a person needs to cultivate such qualities as modesty, moderation in receiving physical pleasures, and control over one’s mental state. Otherwise, negative manifestations of chakra energy such as anger, greed, jealousy, fears, and possessiveness are also possible.

The overactivity of Swadhisthana manifests itself as restlessness, frequent mood swings, whims, emotional instability, and inconstancy of interests. This goes away when a person determines life priorities for himself and learns to direct energy in the right direction. A deficiency of chakra energy manifests itself in isolation, unsociability, shyness and isolation. Such people rely only on themselves and are afraid to show their weakness.

Each of the chakras affects the functioning of certain organs. At the same time, each chakra corresponds to a number of stones that affect it. Minerals, having an effect on the chakras, also have an effect on the organs controlled by it. In the case of Svadhisthana, this is the lymphatic system, kidneys, genitals and all fluids: blood, lymph, digestive juices, seminal fluid (since the element of Svadhisthana is water, it is responsible for the exchange and distribution of body fluids). The main stones that affect the sex chakra and harmonize and align its work are amber, tourmaline, amethyst, carnelian, carnelian, orange calcite, and onyx.

Amber(fossil resin, organic mineral)
There are about two hundred and eighty varieties of amber, ranging from almost white to red-brown and greenish. The name of the stone is rooted in the Lithuanian word “gintares”, which means “protection from disease”. Indeed, since ancient times, truly healing properties have been attributed to amber. For example, the Brandenburg-Prussian kings in the 17th century arrogated to themselves the monopoly right to collect amber, so residents of the coast were prohibited from doing so under pain of prison or the death penalty. In the thirties of the 20th century, biochemists managed to isolate succinic acid - a substance that stimulates the flow of oxygen into cells and has general strengthening and restorative properties.

Amber is the embodiment of Swadhisthana. Coming from water, poetically called the “tear of the sea” or “gift of the sun,” this organic mineral increases creative energy, sharpens intuition, reduces depression, helps overcome difficult emotional experiences, brings good luck, and promotes acceptance and realization of personal potential. Amber is found in Sicily, Romania, Myanmar, Canada, Mexico, but the most famous is Baltic amber. Its deposits in the Kaliningrad region account for at least 90% of the world's total.

Crystals for Swadhisthana:
Carnelian And calcite expand a person’s emotional potential, freeing him from shyness. They weaken the influence of negative emotions, such as fear, cruelty, despotism, and causeless irritability. Helps women maintain emotional balance during menstruation.
Tourmaline, placed on the chakra, helps eliminate psychological and emotional blocks associated with sex and intersexual relationships.

One of the highest manifestations of Swadhisthana energy is honesty towards yourself and others. Don’t let other people’s opinions influence your choice, develop your creativity, turn ideas (even the most incredible and ambitious) into reality. Express your individuality without fear of judgment and evaluation, and then life will begin to bring pleasure from the very fact of its existence.

According to ancient Indian knowledge, there are seven important energy centers in our body - chakras. The bioenergy of qi passes through them, and each of the chakras corresponds to a certain vibration of this energy. Indian healers knew how to influence energy centers with the help of stones, which also have frequency characteristics. Certain stones were placed on diseased organs or points, which aligned the energy, relieved pain and cleansed the aura.
Below is a list of chakras and the minerals that can have a specific effect on them.

What are the health stones?

Which ones are more suitable for a woman's health?

What health stones to buy for a particular zodiac sign

Which stones should not be chosen, as they will lead to death

From time immemorial, people believed in the healing properties of stones. These days, stone treatment is no longer as widespread. The benefits and healing effects of stones are undeniable. Of course, treatment with health stones should not be regarded as an alternative to medications, but it is quite possible to use such procedures as additional therapy.

How do health gems work?

People have been using gemstones for many centuries. At first these items were amulets and talismans. People believed that they helped to resist negative influences, protect the health of their owner, attract good luck, and bring happiness. Each gem had its own purpose. Some protected from evil spirits, others from diseases, others from poisons, and others provided the location of higher powers.

The benefits and harms of stones for human health and destiny are described in ancient legends and confirmed by modern scientific research.

Wealthy people of high position skillfully selected jewelry from precious stones. In ancient times, people were considered rich who owned jewelry specially selected for them, because stones have the ability to bring good luck to their owner.

The symbol of state power - the crown of the ruler - was certainly decorated with precious stones. And such a headdress, made in accordance with certain canons, had powerful power and protected its wearer from evil.

To this day, precious stones are used on special occasions and are of great importance. For example, they richly decorate elements of the vestments of religious figures (the breastplate of the Jewish high priest, the traditional headdresses of the Pope and bishops).

And today, famous jewelry brands have no shortage of clients. Does this seem like a simple tribute to tradition and fashion, or do people subconsciously feel the strength and power of jewelry?

The whimsical shimmers of light in the prism of the facets of gems are mesmerizing; the precious stones seem to have a secret power of attraction. Even in ancient India, they believed that they carried the power of distant planets. This property allows gemstones to improve the mental and physical condition of people. Many believed in this property, which has many confirmations in history. For example, when feeling heaviness, Ibn al-Jassasa placed precious stones on his lap, and this helped him cope with disturbing thoughts.

In ancient times, they believed that planets with powerful energy, through precious stones, not only influenced the general condition of a person, but were also capable of changing his destiny.

The ancient sacred books of India - the Vedas - contain information about ways to enhance the beneficial effects of planets through the correct selection of semi-precious stones.

There is life in stone.

The Vedas say that a stone can contain a soul under certain conditions. A spirit striving to exist in inaction can pass into such a form of life. In its enjoyment of inaction, the soul passes into the depths of the rock and can remain in this state for thousands of years, since stone is the only form of life suitable for such a substance. This vital force imparts certain properties to the stone.

Even a plant is in constant action, germinating, reaching for the sun, breathing and giving seed. However, a soul that wants to live in inaction can only be placed in a body such as a stone. The life cycle in stone is incredibly long - hundreds of thousands of years, which is difficult to comprehend from the point of view of human life.

By what signs can you recognize a living stone?

Confirmation of the existence of living stones can be found without studying Vedic sources; some signs will help with this. First of all, this is a certain ordered structure of the body, which can be viewed in its cross section. So, on a cut of a tree, plant or other organism, you can find diverging concentric circles.

A similar structure in both a living body and a stone indicates the presence of certain life cycles. Many semi-precious stones have a layered structure in the form of circles (layers) or are crystals. This form indicates the presence of certain life processes. Stones can “multiply” through a process similar to budding. A formation appears in the structure of the main crystal or cocoon, from which, like from a bud, a new mineral develops.

Stones are associated with planets.

The powerful positive effect that stones have on human health can also be explained by the fact that they have an energetic connection with nine planets, which have a strong impact on the mental and physical state of a person. These are the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu (ascending lunar node in Western astrology), Ketu (descending lunar node in Western astrology).

The energy of these planets can not only heal the soul and body, but also influences the development of a person’s destiny. Their effect extends to the flora and fauna of the Earth, as well as to stones, because the latter in their natural state, like animals and plants, are also living, and the planets influence everything that carries life.

The energy of the planet contained in the gem is transmitted to all living things. Thus, plants, under the influence of the energy of the Sun, receive the power of fire, giving them tart, bitter, pungent tastes. And the Sun gives people protective immune forces, digestive fire, joy, and encourages action. The planet imparted all these properties to such gems as garnet and red tourmaline.

You may have noticed that the flavors mentioned above can whet your appetite and stimulate digestion. Jewelry made from health-promoting garnet and ruby ​​stones has a similar effect: they stimulate the immune system and add cheerfulness. Thus, solar energy fills not only the direct light of the Sun, but also herbs and minerals.

Stones, which in their natural state have accumulated the power of celestial bodies for tens of thousands of years, when they fall into human hands, begin to give it to all living things. Such a powerful force can be beneficial, but it can also cause harm. People have long noticed that mountains, rich in reserves of all kinds of species, make some people's health better, while others, on the contrary, worse. Only the correct use of jewelry will provide a positive effect.

How do planets have a therapeutic effect on a person through gemstones? If a one-component mineral is painted in one color, then it contains the power of one planet. For example, red rubies and tourmalines, as well as garnets, received their beneficial properties from the solar power of fire. It is this that helps the person who chose these stones to stimulate digestion and the body’s defenses, improve blood circulation and the condition of bone tissue, and accelerate metabolic processes. The soul is filled with joy, the desire for an active lifestyle, confidence in oneself and one’s abilities.

The internal connection of ruby, garnet and tourmaline with the Sun has already been discussed above. By the same principle, all precious stones interact with one of the nine previously named planets. The energy of the Moon is contained in pearls and moonstone, Mercury - in emerald, Venus - in white topaz and diamond, Jupiter - in yellow sapphire and yellow topaz, Saturn - in blue sapphire and amethyst, Mars - in red and pink coral.

Which stone is NOT good for health: TOP 10 most dangerous minerals

Place number 10. Coloradoite.

This crystalline mineral was found in magma veins not so long ago. It consists of mercury telluride, which is derived from an alloy of mercury and tellurium, a rare, highly toxic metal. Such a mixture causes irreparable harm to human health and, without following safety rules, can cause severe intoxication. When thermal and chemical effects are applied to a mineral, steam and dust are formed that are dangerous to life and health. This stone is mined to extract tellurium from it. In nature, tellurium is often combined with gold in rocks, which no one knew before. Coloradoite began to be mined in Australia when, as a result of the “gold rush,” it became known that unwanted tellurium nuggets with gold inclusions that no one noticed were falling into potholes on the roads.

Place number 9. Chalcanthite.

Water, sulfur, copper and several other substances form attractive crystals of chalcanthite, a stone that immediately catches the eye due to its rich blue color. In this composition, copper, which is needed by living beings, becomes very dangerous. As part of chalcanthite, it easily dissolves in water, entering all organisms in huge quantities. With such an excess of copper, many body systems fail, and a living creature quickly weakens and dies. Non-professional researchers should remember that any manipulation with this stone can result in a huge dose of copper entering the body and cause serious harm to health. Mining chalcanthite destroys flora, which threatens serious disturbances in the ecological balance. The attractiveness and low abundance of the mineral still makes it in demand. In connection with this, the geological community organized production for the cultivation of artificial crystals equated to natural samples.

Place number 8. Hutchinsonite.

Thallium, which is part of the mineral, is similar to lead in appearance and physical properties. But unlike its counterpart, thallium is a rare and extremely dangerous substance for humans, and the harm of this stone can be very great. It occurs in nature as part of toxic compounds and even after normal contact with the skin causes severe illnesses that are highly likely to be fatal. Hutchinsonite is a combination of lead, thallium and arsenic and requires extreme care. The stone was named after a major representative of mineralogy from Cambridge, John Hutchinson. Hutchinsonite is found in European mountainous areas, usually in ore deposits.

Place number 7. Galena.

The stone seems to be composed of cubes of amazingly regular shape with a silvery sheen. This type of mineral is a consequence of the cubic fracture process: when struck, galena breaks up into smaller copies of its original shape. Lead is mined using galena. The sulfur contained in the mineral transforms lead, which is naturally flexible, into a fragile metal that reacts well with chemicals. By ignoring safety rules, everyone in contact with galena is exposed to severe toxic effects. The danger comes from getting into the lungs dust generated during the work process both in mines and in laboratories.

Place number 6. Asbestos.

Asbestos is an extremely dangerous naturally occurring mineral. If other stones have a poisonous effect from the chemicals contained in their composition, and the harm of a stone to human health is often isolated and accidental, then asbestos causes severe mechanical damage to the lungs on a different scale. Asbestos is made up of sodium, iron, oxygen and silica (the most abundant mineral on earth). In the natural environment, asbestos is found in the form of an accumulation of a huge number of microscopic crystals in the form of a thread, which have the ability to be transported by airborne droplets. That's how it ends up in people's lungs. This organ gradually ceases to perform its functions due to continuous irritation of the tissue with the formation of adhesions. Asbestos inclusions can be found in any silica rock; for this reason, when developing the latter, it is important to comply with safety requirements. Erosive natural processes contribute to the transfer of asbestos microparticles of this mineral in the atmosphere. Therefore, many people have asbestos particles in their lung tissue.

Place number 5. Arsenopyrite.

Arsenopyrite is a type of pyrite (fool's gold or iron sulfide). Outwardly, it can be mistaken for gold, so many people take it into their hands, not knowing that they can cause irreparable harm to their health. Arsenopyrite consists of a mixture of iron sulfide and arsenic. Any impact on this stone provokes the release of life-threatening, highly toxic, corrosive and carcinogenic fumes with the odor of garlic characteristic of this very toxic substance. Interaction with this stone (handling or touching food after arsenopyrite particles get on the skin of the hands) leads to the entry of easily disintegrating arsenic sulfur salts into the body. You can avoid a fatal mistake: when you hit a stone, the characteristic smell of garlic, inherent in arsenic, is released.

Place number 4. Torburnite.

Torburnite is truly one hell of a stone. Crystalline formations of a deep green color in the form of a prism occur as inclusions in granite deposits and contain uranium. Arising from the complex interaction of phosphorus, copper, water and uranium, these stunning crystal compositions excite collectors who want to add this unique piece to their home collections. The mixture of radioactive uranium, infamous for the Chernobyl disaster, and the deadly radon gas, which causes lung cancer, makes storing this stone incredibly dangerous. Torbernite is often found in granite substances, so granite products found in everyday life may have inclusions of torbernite.

Place number 3. Stibnit.

Stibnite is antimony sulfide. Its sword-shaped crystals resemble the spiers of miniature buildings. Externally, the stone looks like silver. This forced people to make beautiful dishes from large, shiny nuggets that looked like metal. Unstable connections caused the death of people using these dishes. Much time later, they found out the extent of the harm this stone can cause to human health and learned that stibnite, due to the inclusions of antimony, provokes serious intoxication. When holding stibnite under normal conditions at home, you must strictly follow the recommendations for safe handling of this stone: thoroughly wash the skin of your hands after touching the mineral.

Place number 2. Orpiment.

The mineral contains arsenic and sulfur. Orpiment deposits are formed in the ground next to thermal water springs. Orpiment attracts people with its bright and rich colors, but the substances included are highly chemically active and deadly. It is enough to touch the stone with your hands to expose yourself to the carcinogenic and neurotoxic effects of arsenic. Orpiment and cinnabar, ground into powder, were used to treat arrowheads in China. The substance has a garlicky odor characteristic of arsenic and can turn into a powdery state that is aggressive to humans from exposure to sunlight. Previously, this stone was the main element of ocher and had a poisonous effect on the artists who used this paint.

Place #1. Cinnabar.

Cinnabar is bright red crystals of mercury sulfide. The name translates as "dragon's blood". Cinnabar is the most dangerous to process; the harm of this stone to human health is irreparable. Cinnabar deposits are formed near volcanoes and are a source of industrial production of mercury, posing a threat to human life. Whenever cinnabar is processed, pure mercury vapor is formed, under the influence of which a person begins to have convulsions, loses sensitivity and dies. During the Middle Ages and until the end of the 18th century, the death penalty was synonymous with exile to Spanish mines, the depths of which contained cinnabar. In Ancient China, artisans made beautiful dishes and various decorative figurines from this stone, unaware of the mortal danger. Ancient doctors attributed healing properties to cinnabar and actively used it in medical practice.
