Cinnabar (Ref: AX-12-063)
Tongren Mine, Wanshan District, Tongren Prefecture, Guizhou Province, China
58mm x 55mm x 44mm
minID: 64R-PWG
Twinned "drill bit" habit Cinnabar crystals on Quartz matrix with some Dolomite. A Chinese classic, for over a century Cinnabar was the only Chinese mineral seen in the western world. These were prized specimens in top collections and were the world's best examples of the specie. Things have changed and these are no longer priceless but they are still quite fine and this habit is the most desired. Crystals to 1.8 cm most of which are fully perfect however a small one has a backside cleave not seen on display. The dark color and habit are typical of older material that is not like any of the recent finds.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
