Cinnabar is a distinctive deep red natural mineral with thousands of years of use in Eastern traditions. Due to its intense, vibrant red color, it is believed to contain powerful "yang" energy and has been used since ancient times for writing sacred texts, making seals, and as medicinal material, symbolizing protection, purification, and vitality.

Carving it into the twelve zodiac animal images connects this ancient protective power with your personal identity (zodiac), making it a highly personalized talisman.
