 Darkening Cinnabar
During the course of an investigation of cinnabar ores, it was found that some specimens show the peculiar tendency to turn surficially fl, relatively rapidly, on exposure to sunlight.
A specimen of cinnabar from the Aurora mine in San Benito County, California, as well as cinnabar concentrated from a specimen collected by Ransome in the Mazatzal Mountains of Arizona were exposed to sunlight for six months without any change being noted.
However, the fact that the same surficial darkening is observed when cinnabar is heated (although metacinnabar is a monotropic form which, at high temperatures, is converted to cinnabar) casts doubt on the validity of this assumption.
