Cinnabar on Calcite (Jaime Bird Coll.)

Item Description

Lustrous,untwinned, ruby-red cinnabar crystals to 5 mm very richly and nicely set on contrasting, off-white calcite matix from Charcas, Mexico. This is classic, and very old material! I have seen only a handful in many years. Cinnabar is uncommon from Charcas and this is excellent material, surely very old. Very rich mercury specimen here, for Mexico - and pretty, as a cinnabar locality piece too. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. valued $400-500
