Orpiment
specimen number:
4151010
location:
Quiruvilca mine, La Libertad, Peru
description:
Slightly translucent deep orange semi lustrous crystals of orpiment to almost 1.5 cm in size coming off this matrix. This is a very fine example for the species, just slight minimal rubbing present as seen in the video and picture. For one of these, I think in really good condition.
Size: 7.0 x 4.0 x 4.0 cm (small-cabinet)
