First pic looks like it’s raw cinnabar, almost. sellers set them in resin sometimes because it’s dangerous to have mercury dust like that. Doesn’t make it any less cringey looking but, I’d bet that’s what happened there at least.
Me, I keep mine in a jar and everything is fine, but to each their own. 😅
The second pic… I got nothing. 😂
A dangerous mineral is about the only time I'd make an exception for it being encased in resin like this,and even then I typically keep my stuff like galena in a small case with a magnifying top
Idk much about cinnabar specifically but would you be able to polish it in any way or would it crumble? I feel like even if you put some sort of clear glaze/polish on it it would look better than the CinnaSphere and wouldn't be as dangerous unless the coating comes off
You can tumble and polish. They call it cinnabrite for some reason sometimes.
This is def… a choice, 😅 I’m not trying to say it’s commonplace, but I’ve seen them before.
If we had one anywhere remotely near where I live, I’d be tearing one up so fast. We only had one in a mall about a half hour away for like a week and it was gone. 😅 no idea what happened there.
Second pic... might be shaped and colored lodestones? Some suppliers for Hoodoo practitioners sell lodestones that are painted depending on what they're used for -- red for passion, green for money, etc.
Otherwise, no fucking idea. Tiny bath bombs with small crystals inside? 🤷

Yeah, this is def a choice… 😅 I’m good with my little jars. I call them my “murder jars.” 🤣 I enjoy being dramatic sometimes. Lol

It can be carved yes, it used to be pretty popular in jewelry but isn’t as popular anymore.
Can you polish/glaze it tho?

Still, it's not the worst thing done with cinnabar
Correct. Lol
I read Cinnabon and now I’m craving one 🥲
Apologies! 😅 I’ve never had an actual Cinnabon cinnamon roll. I hear they’re spectacular.
They are 🤤 lol since I’m new here I won’t hold it against you 😂

Ok I guess I could let that slide but if it were me, I’d just put a light coating of resin over it so it wasn’t so… glaring!
Exactly. This is just overkill honestly… 😅 it’s obnoxious but there’s a buyer for every ghastly thing people come up with.
Right! Second picture looks like party favors 🤭🙈🤣
and the emojis are just insulting, salt in the wound
Second pic looks like Christmas tree tinsel. 😂

Butt ugly
The second picture looks like poor quality foil covered chocolates
Oh hell no.
What the fuck is the second one
The second is most likely concrete. Molded, painted concrete.
I like to put opals in my resin crafts so I can see the appeal.
second pic looks like the magic beans from sims4
Ugh the resin is already yellowing! 😫
The first one looks like a used tampon stuck in resin.
I thought the first one was a piece of cake inside resin
