Item Description
A few lustrous, very well-formed, fine red color, gemmy crystals of Cinnabar nicely sitting on pearly Dolomite on matrix. The largest Cinnabar crystal measures 5 mm. A pretty little 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!
