Orpiment

Item Description

Supremely bright, juicy orange-red, intensely sparkly, ball-like clusters of extremely gemmy, euhedral orpiment crystals from the El'brusskiy Mine of Russia. These orpiments are some of the finest you will find in the mineral kingdom! They are of a higher quality, in fact, than even the famous Nevada orpiments - only smaller. The trivial bit of periphery wear is noted, but is certainly a very modest detraction to the overall impact of this striking and most colorful piece. From the 1990s to early 2000s finds, with none since.
