Orpiment
specimen number:
1502374
location:
Quiruvilca Mine, La Libertad Department, Peru
description:
An outstanding example for this old Peruvian classic extremely large orange terminated thick crystals of orpiment measuring to 4.5 cm in length over the top of a 12.0 x 10.0 x 5.0 cm matrix. Very minimal micro-chipping present, considering the size of these crystals for this notoriously soft species, this is in excellent condition I think. Sits perfectly by itself for display and shows nicely all around. Shipping weight: 2.1 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
Size: 12.0 x 10.0 x 5.0 cm (cabinet)
