Item Description

Arguably the finest quality Realgar crystals in the world are found at this mine. The size compared with the electric red color makes them very popular with collectors. Here we have excellent, lustrous, intensely red crystals of Realgar measuring up to 1.4 cm on matrix. The piece is not 100% perfect, but many crystals are still in very good condition. These are amongst the most beautiful red crystals in the mineral kingdom. Please keep in mind that they are very light-sensitive and turn dark over time when exposed to light!
