Realgar

Item Description

This is a good quality, specimen of electric red Realgar from the famous Shimen Mine. The largest crystal measures 7 mm. The crystals are textbook quality with superbly formed, very sharp, highly lustrous, smooth faces and brilliant internal glowing color when backlit. This mine is arguably the preeminent locality for Realgar in the world, and the quality of the crystals on this piece, though small, are amazingly fine.
