Item Description
Metacinnabar is EXTREMELY RARE from the famous N'Chwaning mines and this is a one-pocket combination, I had not seen before, from the Charlie Key collection. Bright red microcrystals are richly scattered across the top of the sculptural hausmannite matrix on this showy and extreme combination rarity. X-ray confirmed at the University of Arizona.
