Well-formed individual crystals of red Cinnabar measuring to 5 mm are scattered over needle-like crystals of colourless-white Quartz on a country-rock matrix from the Nikitovka Hg Deposit in eastern Ukraine. Many of the crystals are twinned and with the fine aesthetics of the crystallized Quartz backdrop makes for a lovely specimen.
