Bloodstone composition

Bloodstone composition

The discovery and exploitation of bloodstone has been around for hundreds of years. What is the composition of the bloodstone? What are the ingredients of the bloodstone? Today, Xiaobian simply tells you a few things.

1. Mineral composition

The bloodstone is mainly composed of dikai stone (the mass fraction is usually 85% to 95%) and cinnabar (the mass fraction is usually 5% to 15%), and contains kaolinite, pearl clay, diaspore, alum, and yellow iron. Other minerals such as mines and quartz (of mass fraction often 1% to 5%). The "ground" of the bloodstone is mainly composed of dikai stone or transition minerals of kaolinite and dikai stone; and "blood" is mainly composed of cinnabar, in which particulate cinnabar (5% to 50%) is dikai or kaolin Wrapped in stone, cinnabar is distributed in a dip-like pattern. The mineral composition of the bloodstone has a certain relationship with its texture. When the bloodstone consists of two very fine-grained minerals such as dikeite and cinnabar

When it is composed, its texture is fine and translucent. It is like jelly. It is called “frozen bloodstone”. When it contains more alum (HM=3.5~4), its transparency is reduced and opaque. The gloss is weakened and dull, the hardness is increased, and the brittleness is also increased; when it contains more quartz (HM=7), pyrite (HM=6-6.5) or secondary quartz lithic crystal chips, When the residue of the silica fume is high, the hardness of these impurities is higher than the hardness of the dickite, which hinders the appearance of the bloodstone and is not conducive to engraving. The process is called "sand nail".

2. chemical components

The chemical formula of cinnabar is HgS.

The chemical formula of dikai, kaolin and pearl clay is also Al4(Si4O10)(OH)8.

I would like to tell you so much about the introduction of the bloodstone ingredients, I hope to help you.
