Description

Rich drusy of very fresh and lustrous blood red cinnabar crystals, nicely populating a portion of massive cinnabar-laden matrix. Crystals are so lustrous that they are hard to photograph due to excessive reflections.

One of the most renowned mercury mines, Idria is nowdays a European defunct locality, whose specimens are usually found only in very old collections.

From my personal collection.
