The name "cinnabar" is said to derive from an Eastern Indian phrase meaning "dragon's blood." The part to remember is that Eastern dragons were long considered helpful, beneficial creatures—not the fire-breathing destructive tyrants they are in the West. The stone's bold red color (frequently natural, although sometimes dyed) supports the "dragon's blood" description! Other sources say the name comes from ancient Greek or Persian.
