Description

A couple of dozens of cinnabar 'berries' are intimately intergrown and partly covered by colorless to white calcite lenticular crystals. Excellent color contrast for the specimen, which consists of two well-developed drusies on matrix.

An Italian classic, nowadays very scarse to find. The cinnabar shows very good, vivid color for the area.

Former collection Lehmann (CH), dated back to the late 80s.
