Cinnabar

Item Description

Severla very sharp, rather lustrous, well-formed, fine red, gemmy crystals of Cinnabar measuring up to 8 mm with a very attractive habit, nicely sitting on Dolomite on matrix with minor accenting yellow Calcites. 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!
