Item Description

A complete all-around and pristine, glassy calcite scalenohedron lights up with canary-yellow orpiment with a few dabs of red realgar on one side on this nifty thumbnail from this noted locale. The orpiment is nearly entirely included-in the calcite. A very fine combination thumbnail from the Shimen Mine.
