GLOBULAR ORPIMENT
A great rare specimen of Globular Orpiment for the mineral collector. A splash of colour for your collection and an unusual addition to the cabinet. Just spectacular, also featuring a few small well formed crystals of Realgar and Barite on a matrix of Sphalerite, Galena and Pyrite. This mineral specimen is from very old stock. Treat this one with care as it does of course contain Arsenic and is for looking not touching and not for the young ones.
