Cinnabar is trigonal, while metacinnabar is isometric. The two minerals should not be confused with one another because metacinnabar has a metallic gray color, a gray-to-black streak and a metallic-to-submetallic luster. Cinnabar is the only important ore of mercury.For thousands of years cinnabar has been mined and heated in a furnace. The mercury escapes as a vapor that can be condensed into liquid mercury.ecause cinnabar is the only important ore of mercury, the demand for mercury has driven mining activity. Mercury has many uses, but its toxicity has reduced its use in any application where reasonable substitutes can be found.
