VERMILION

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 1025 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VERMILION , a
scarlet
  pigment composed of mercuric sulphide, HgS. It may be obtained direct from pure and
bright
  coloured portions of the native ore
cinnabar
 , or, artificially, by subliming a mixture of
mercury
  and
sulphur
 . The product is ground and levigated; and when dry it is ready for use. It is also prepared by digesting precipitated mercuric sulphide with an alkaline sulphide for some
hours
 ; it is said that
Chinese
  vermilion owes its superiority to being made in this way. In addition to its brilliance, vermilion is a pigment of
great
  intensity and durability, remaining unaffected by acid fumes. Being costly, it is much subject to
adulteration
 ; but the fraudulent additions may easily be detected by volatilization, which in the
case
  of pure vermilion leaves no residue. See FIGMENTS and
MERCURY
 .
