Cinnabar with Quartz
specimen number:
3333319
location:
Yunchangping Mine, Wanshan, Tongren, Guizhou, China
description:
Deep red satiny twinned crystals of cinnabar, the largest 1.3 cm in height, on a matrix of crystallized quartz with minor dolomite. All of the prominent crystals in great condition, very slight chipping to lesser crystals along the left and upper back edge of the matrix. I think in very fine condition overall and quite nice for the species.
