Item Description

This is an interesting and unusual specimen from the lesser known Gold Bar Mine in Nevada featuring yellow colored Orpiment replacing fossil coral with associated red Realgar on host rock matrix. This material is exceedingly difficult to find on the market, and it's quite unusual to find fossil / pseudomorph specimens like this from a gold mine.
