Shimen (Jiepiayu) Mine, Shimen County, Changde Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
72mm x 52mm x 48mm
minID: EXU-XR5
A fat, intense red main crystal dominates this Realgar specimen. The Realgar is the less common blocky habit and has top vivid color. Glassy luster, transparent to translucent and a strong display piece. Mined over a decade ago this has been in dark storage ever since so it is pristine and fresh looking. No more is coming out, this is a very choice example. There is damage on the backside where it was removed that is not seen, the front in is fine condition and showy. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
