Realgar Jiepaiyu Mine (Shimen Mine) Shimen deposit (Huangchang deposit)...
Realgar Jiepaiyu Mine (Shimen Mine) Shimen deposit (Huangchang deposit) Shimen Co., Changde, Hunan China This small cluster of three Realgar crystals is spectacular. Each crystal features terminated sharp faces and a deep orangey, blood-red color. Each crystal is incredibly gemmy and displays intense luster and transparency. There is some minor edge scuffing, which is to be expected with this soft material. Realgar is a light sensitive mineral, so exposure to strong light over time could result in degradation. However, this is a great example of the collector grade variety. This mineral comes with a custom acrylic base. Overall Measurements: 2.87 x 1.68 x 1.08 inches (7.28 x 4.26 x 2.75 cm) Provenance: Central Coast Collection [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
