Cinnabar -elongated crystals with Dolomite, Quartz (Ref: 13.1-047)
Tongren Mine, Wanshan District, Tongren Prefecture, Guizhou Province, China
80mm x 51mm x 29mm
minID: VGR-8KK
Free standing elongated crystals of Cinnabar in a well protected vug lined with small crystals of Quartz and Dolomite. Excellent bright red color and very translucent. The largest crystals have sharp terminations with distinct re-entrant notches, so they are in fact twins. Slender elongated crystals like these are much rarer than the blocky type and since the mines are closed for a few years, any good quality Cinnabar is now very scarce. In fine condition and with bright luster, Chinese Cinnabar crystals have always been respected and desired as the worlds best for the specie. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
