The ArkenstoneFeatured
A lustrous, deep orange-fire-red cluster of orpiment from a notable find of the 1980s, in Peru. This material has not been seen in decades! It is a sharp, sparkling example of a species that normally does not give us such sparkling, glassy like crystals. Minor damage in some dings, yellow spots you may see, is expected of a soft mineral and typical of the find. The main central crystal is 1.8 cm.
