Lots of info online regarding cinabar toxicity, just google 'cinabar toxicity'
I note that cinnabar is described as having a rich deep red color, and was (is) used as a dye and in traditional Chinese medicine; two centuries ago, it was common to assign slaves and convicts to work with the stuff, so its toxicity must have been recognized then. Question for us is more subtle, does it wear off or transfer in use; especially important to establish before international agencies get involved as our market will be international. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
