Native Mercury with Cinnabar & minor Pyrite

Socrates Mine, Sonoma Co., California

5.25cm x 4.2cm x 2cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare, old time example of native mercury from this seldom referenced locale!!! This specimen consists of a very rich mass of native mercury ore!!! The matrix consists of weathered calomel, calcite, and some quartz that hosts a very rich distribution of bright silvery native mercury!!! There are also a few small cubic pyrite crystals, reddish cinnabar present as well!!! This specimen is very bright and lively in person - the pictures simply do not capture just how rich this specimen is!!! Fine examples of native mercury are quite scarce!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! EBAY NOTE: this is source material native mercury, not a hazardous materials listing, and is allowable for listing
