Cinnabar

cinnabar (it's a color, can you guess what it is?)

......

Have you guessed? It's red crystalline mercuric sulfide pigment (deep red or scarlet color). I didn't get it right. I believed it was a cinnamon color (like, well, cinnamon!). Oh well...thanks Phrontisery! Don't those cinnabar (the compoundish thing) beads look amazing? I would love to own a strand of them... They're so detailed!

So now, here's the *optional* writing prompt (for those of you coffee shop open mic goers). Where would you find these? In a royal jewelry box? Hidden away beneath the floorboards of a barn (ooh, wouldn't that make a cool story...). You decide.

beginnings, beginnings...

Hello! Seeing as this is my first post on this blog, I suppose I'll explain what I plan to (not necessarily will) do. I think I'd like this to just be random information that I want to share with people. It may be a word, such as stiricide (n.:falling of icicles from a house), or a prompt that people can use to get started writing. I don't know! Just wait and find out :).


PS: The picture has nothing to do with this post. I just like quetzals.
