4ddtgns ((CINNABAR, DOLOMITE)), $20 MINIMUM BID, Tongren, Guizhou Province, China, 7.5 x 6 x 4.5 cm, Cabinet, | |
Here is a blood red lustrous Cinnabar crystal on a limestone matrix covered with cream colored Dolomite. The crystal has one side face actually a cleavage plane which is nearly impossible to catch. I have had this specimen almost 9 years and it is still blood red. It should be kept out of direct sunlight and excessive heat or in a covered box to retain the gemmy red color. |
