Item Description

Collected in 2003, here we have an eye-catching specimen consisting of lustrous, fiery cherry-red color prismatic Realgar crystals which are aesthetically sitting on contrasting black matrix. The piece displays well from a few angles. The largest crystal measures 1.3 cm. From the collection of Colorado collector, John Arnaud. I have not seen many Realgar specimens with isolated crystals like this one from this mine.
