A large, super-gemmy, intensely red crystal of realgar, complete, terminated and lustrous all around (a bit of edge wear in one place). These are amongst the most beautiful red crystals in the mineral kingdom. However, note that they are very light-sensitive and turn dark over time when exposed to light! 2.8 x 2.0 x 0.7 cm
