Classic old specimen of cinnabar on matrix with deep red crystals up to 8mm. THESE ARE very LARGE FOR SPANISH CINNABAR, at least for what I have seen on the market. The crystals are slightly bruised but have an outstanding luster and color. The matrix is so rich in cinnabar that it appears mostly red in color. These Spanish cinnabars came out decades or more ago and are not commonly available. Some date back over 100 years. this is one of the showiest I have had to sell
