A fine specimen of the orpiment discovered a few years back that set the world standard for the species. Not only are these sharp crystals of the classic orange color (less yellow and more orange than the pics show), but the cluster is ISOLATED on matrix, which is QUITE unusual and makes it very attractive compared to the typical that is more or less just a clump of crystals. 5.2 x 4.8 x 3 cm
