Item Description
Here we have a rather interesting and unusual specimen from the lesser known Gold Bar Mine in Nevada. This miniature sized piece features yellow colored Orpiment replacing fossil coral with a tiny bit of associated red Realgar on host rock matrix. This material is exceedingly difficult to find on the market, and it's quite unusual to find fossil / pseudomorph specimens like this from a gold mine.
