Item Description
Lustrous spheres of bright orange orpiment, to 7 mm across, are closely associated with glassy and gemmy, colorless baryte. This is a sparkling jewel of a specimen, and the barites are exquisite in particular. Please note that while most orpiment is OK, there is some moderate bruising to the surface there. In the end, it is a pretty and representative example of this fairly unique association/discovery from some years ago. From the extensive Peru suite of the Rock Currier collection.
