Cinnabar on Dolomite

Unknown Owner
A very lustrous, 1 cm wide, perfectly-formed crystal of deep red Cinnabar sits neatly at the centre of a bed of beautifully contrasting pearly, saddle habit crystals of Dolomite in this large miniature specimen. Two incomplete Cinnabar crystals are at the edge of the specimen. A very displayable example from the classic Chinese location in Fenghuang Co, Hunan Province.
