Item Description
Striking bright silvery metallic native mercury droplets are dramatically festooned on the sculptural 4.7 x 4.3 x 2.1 cm brick-red cinnabar matrix on this very rich and classic mercury combination from Spain. The droplets scintillate and the cinnabar glows a rich red under bright light in the bell jar. The back side hosts fewer and smaller mercury droplets. The mercury mines at Spain's historic Almaden district have been exploited since the Roman era and are estimated to have produced 1/3 of total world production (MINDAT). See the excellent article in the 2019 Mineralogical Record, Vol. 50, No. 1. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection No. 00075CL and acquired in 1989. Outstanding and rich older combination material. This is contained in and wedged into a glass vial, and will be shipped as shown, for safety and handling.
