Item Description
Fantastic, colorful and sculptural natural Modern Art in a sawed and polished slab from the old mercury mines of the Knoxville District. The fabulous swirled, amoeba-like, orangy-red cinnabar is artistically set in multi-hued Myrickite, a local name for Chalcedony with grey ground and red spots (cinnabar). VERY RARE and outstanding material in this quality. A MUST for the species or California collector.
