About the Item

El'brusskiy mine, Elbrus Mt, Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Northern Caucasus Region, Russia This large, stunningly rich orange orpiment specimen with contrasting yellow around the edges comes on a 4"W x 4"D x 1/2"H lucite base for perfect display and brings a sparkling luster. A large, gorgeously clear and gemmy barite crystal accents the lower right of the piece for extra visual fascination. Orpiment – historically used medicinally and as a pigment for painting – is a rare compound of sulfur and arsenic often found in association with realgar, and is prized by collectors for its rich hues and its crystal formations. Dimensions: 4"W x 1-3/4"D x 5-1/2"H, Weight (with base): 2.31 lb.
