Realgar with Quartz, Galena, Sphalerite and Orpiment
Cherry red Realgar crystals on Galena and Quartz with Sphalerite Orpiment and Pyrite. The Galena crystals measure up to 20mm in size and display a cuboctahedral habit and there is a dusting of Sphalerite microcrystals over them. This specimen has good balance and a great contrast. There are a few sheared Quartz crystals on the periphery, but in good overall condition.
