Chinese Realgar Specimens
OKG-153 Realgar on Calcite Shimen Realgar mine,
Shimen County, Hunan Prov., China. This is old material, of course. Nothing
new from this locale in awhile but this one showed up at Tucson, 2009 from one
dealer’s old inventory. A large, 13 x 9.5 cm plate which averages 2 cm thick.
It is a crystallized calcite matrix which has plenty of nicely single and double
terminated realgars to 1.2 cm each. They are transparent and blood red as is
the best of this material. No alteration, no damage, mineralized on back and
very showy. Rare stuff to get a chance to own at this kind of down to earth
price. 395$
