Item Description
A 1.3 cm sharp, lustrous, fine red, gemmy crystal of Cinnabar with a very attractive habit, nicely sitting on Dolomite on matrix. Very pretty piece with good color, and they aren't as common as they once were. A classic specimen of this well-known material. This deposit accounts for 50% of all the mercury deposits in China! Priced originally at $500 by the previous dealer.
