Cinnabar (Ref: 101)
Tongren Mine | Wanshan Dist. | Tongren Pref. | Guizhou | China
94mm x 67mm x 38mm
minID: TPG-UE5
Superb, unusually sharp, up to 2,1 cm long Cinnabar penetration twins sitting perfectly on contrasting matrix of Quartz and Dolomite. Seldom do you get such a nice display on a group of these twinned crystals, which generally were found in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The adamantine luster is first-rate, and the consistency of colour is outstanding. The secondary set of crystals is perfectly developed as well and in any case, this is a stunning and fine combination piece with a sharp main set of crystals perched against sparkling matrix. Old material from the late 1980s, or early 1990s, but such high aesthetic specimen were always rare and highly sought after. This is a killer specimen all the way.From: Wendel Minerals
