Item Description

Super-sharp, splendent, silver-metallic, cherry-red, drill bit-twinned, cinnabar crystals to 1.7 cm are aesthetically scattered on the undulating matrix covered with sparkly quartz points on this very showy and excellent combination specimen from Tongren. The modest bruising to the cinnabars is noted, but certainly has minimal impact on the overall fine quality of this showy piece. Classic Tongren cinnabar from the Ed Bancroft Collection.
