Orpiment
specimen number:
4411077
location:
Jiepaiyu Mine, Shimen, Changde, Hunan, China
description:
Very fine for the species with semi lustrous slightly translucent orange terminated crystals of orpiment to 1.5 cm in height coming off a thin matrix. Typical of these slight micro-chipping is present, this particular specimen I think is in great condition for the species. An excellent example of what is sure to be a future Chinese classic.
Size: 8.0 x 5.0 x 2.0 cm (small-cabinet)
