2452919
location:
Quiruvilca Mine, La Libertad, Peru
description:
The top side of this shapely 24.0 x 15.0 x 7.0 cm matrix is mostly covered with botryoidal crystallized deep orange orpiment. Small colorless crystals of barite and metallic prismatic crystals of hutchinsonite are scattered throughout. Typical of these are some very minimal micro-rubbing present, considering the size of the specimen however I think it in very good condition. Shipping weight: 8.3 pounds. Ex Jordi Povill collection.
