Orpiment

A spectacularly bright, glassy, glowing specimen from the famed Twin Creeks locality. This specimen speaks to you from across the room. Hard to find good undamaged pieces anymore. Stable in atmosphere and light as there was no realgar in the mine. Periphery contact from removal and a very slight bruise on a top left crystal. Ex Ken Roberts collection.

Locality: Twin Creeks Mine, Humboldt County, Nevada
