Description

This is an extremely large, intensely gemmy and unbelievably impressive crystal of a mineral that rivals just about any in the world for dazzling red color! You typically see these scattered on matrix, of a much smaller size, and not a large, single, prismatic crystal such as this. It has just a couple of very small dings - nothing that matters visibly, in context, for such a large and freestanding crystal.An exceptional large , single, fire engine red realgar crystal. Nicely terminated and well formed and apart from some minor scuffing is in very good condition with a sharp and clean termination.
