Orpiment with Hutchinsonite, Barite
specimen number:
1501098
location:
Quiruvilca Mine, La Libertad Department, Peru
description:
Very choice terminated somewhat lustrous and translucent crystals of orpiment to just over 2.0 cm in height over the top side of an 8.0 x 5.0 x 3.0 cm matrix. Minor damage present, typical of these, as seen. I still think this in very good condition and quite nice for the species from this locality. Minor hutchinsonite and barite present as well. Previous label gives this locality in Nevada, but to me it is obviously from this locality in Peru. Shipping weight: 0.44 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
Size: 8.0 x 5.0 x 3.0 cm (small-cabinet)
