Item Description

A classic example of the famous Orpiments from the Quiruvilca Mine. Sharp, translucent, deep orange colored monoclinic crystals measuring up to 8 mm on matrix. Only a tiny bit of damage, but the piece displays well and is showy compared to many other "ugly" pieces I've seen of this material.
