A gorgeous, gemmy, ruby red Realgar crystal is clasped by translucent Calcite scalenohedrons, held like a precious jewel. The transparency, deep rich colour and silvery mirrored lustre alone make this crystal something special, until you consider the size - 6.5 x 4 x 1.9 cm! We have seen few Realgar crystals this large, and also in such good condition for such a soft mineral. Just gorgeous.
