Item Description
Orpiment is RARE from the renowned Lengenbach Quarry. A 1.7 cm wide massive orpiment pod nicely lines a vug and is colorfully accented by starkly contrasting red realgar. The sculptural, sugary dolomite hosts numerous stringers and pods of micro pyrites, famous rare sulfosalts and more orpiment and realgar on all sides. Very showy and rare combination material from the Bern Museum.
