Item Description

A nice small cabinet sized display specimen featuring a big, sharp, lustrous, striated, fiery red colored crystal of Realgar free of matrix. Like many Realgars, this piece shows ELECTRIC color when backlit. The piece is well terminated, but there are some nicks keeping it from being 100% damage free. This mine is the premier locality for Realgar crystals in the world, and to find a single crystal over 2 inches is a big deal!
