Item Description

A very aesthetic miniature cluster of extremely lustrous, golden-yellow, gemmy orpiment crystals with flashes of yellow fire and chisel terminations from early 2000s finds at the famous Twin Creeks Gold Mine of Nevada. The crystals reach 2.1 cm on this specimen. This excellent specimen has only trivial periphery wear. Twin Creeks orpiment of this quality is comparable to any worldwide locality.
