Item Description
Fantastic sharp, cherry-red, drill bit-twinned, lustrous, translucent cinnabar crystals are festooned with contrasting quartz on this superb, exceptionally rich and colorful large specimen. The crystals reach 1.0 cm and they GLOW, when backlit! This dramatic and RARE in this size and quality piece is from the extinct well-known, rich series of open pit mercury mines in Ukraine. The mines opened in 1885 and closed in 1994 (mindat). Ex Bernard Kozykowski and Chet Lemanski Collections. Bernard purchased the piece at the 1989 Rochester Symposium for $900.00. Chet acquired the piece from Bernard in 1991. Valued today at $2000-3000. Small, but exquisite crystals, they compare well with any locality.
