Approximately a dozen dark to black, very bright lorandite crystals populate this arsenic-thallium laden matrix specimen. Associated, some elongated realgar crystals (not complete) give a further color contrast. Occasionally, some really tiny metallic bright spots are visible (raguinite?).

Very rare and in pretty good condition, this specimen is a few years old and it comes in its original plastic box. Best appreciated at 10x magnification.
