Very rare specimen of calomel crystals at a micro level accompanied by cinnabar, metacinnabar and possibly eglestonite and edgarbaileyite from this small mine in which some rare minerals of mercury, oxides, chlorides, and others are found.
In the last photo you can see the orange fluorescence that calomel presents under ultraviolet light.

I have tried to take some enlarged photos, unfortunately it has not been the best, but at least you can get an idea of ​​all the different mercury chlorides that are in all the pieces.
