A classic old time specimen from Nevada showing orange crystals of orpiment averaging 0.5 cm in size across this matrix with red crystallized realgar. Very slight cleaving present, this still in awfully good condition for one of these. Minor calcite is present as well. The specimen comes with a previous label from Minerals Unlimited as shown at the end of the video.
