Cinnabar

Almadén, Almadén District, Ciudad Real, Castile-La Mancha, Spain

4.7cm x 4.3cm x 3cm

Ex. Paul Lazar


Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutely incredible, old time example of cinnabar from this classic Old World locality!!! This specimen consists of a massive cinnabar matrix that hosts SUPERB crystals to over 1.4cm!!! I must say that these crystals are WAY better than they appear in the pictures!!! In person the crystals are intensely colorful and gemmy with sharp, brilliantly lustrous faces!!! The crystals' gemminess and incredible ruby red color are much more pronounced in person!!! The crystals are in amazing condition as well, aside from the one crystal on the periphery, the crystals are largely complete and undamaged!!! Given that this is older material, this is absolutely exceptional condition!!! This is truly a world-class example of the species for a Spanish cinnabar specimen!!! This specimen is from the collection of Paul Lazar!!! The Lazar collection was originally dispersed years ago, however there were a handful of choice specimens from the collection that had been squirreled away prior to its dispersal - this cinnabar being one of those specimens!!! This specimen retains its original label as well!!! The pics don't even come close to doing this classic beauty justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 18th!!!
