Long before the availability of Chinese cinnabar specimens, the best crystals originated in Spain. This is a solid mass of crystallized cinnabar, to over 1.0 cm. It is accompanied by an old, possibly 19th. century, label on the back; and another label from the collection of respected geologist Jean Behier. EXTREMELY RARE and fine specimen, for the locality!
