Item Description
A 2.0 cm, pristine, sharp and gemmy, cherry-red cinnabar crystal aestheticaly set on matrix and beautifully accented with contrasting, milky-white dolomite rhombs from recent finds at Tongren, China. The base and two sides have been sawed to enhance the display quality of this very showy piece and focus the eye to the middle. The cinnabar is TOP QUALITY, not common at all, from a famous pocket about 3 years ago now. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. the crystal is as gemmy as you can ask for and the photos just cannot capture the color, luster, AND gemminess together. Valued $750
