Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Calcite, Cinnabar, Dolomite, Quartz
Locality: Tongren Mine, Wanshan District, Tongren Prefecture, Guizhou Province, China (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 5.4 x 3.9 x 2.3 cm
Cinnabar on Quartz, Dolomite and Calcite
A single, twinned, gemmy, lustrous, bright red, crystal of cinnabar, measuring 1.8 cm in length, is perched on gem clear, colorless, quartz crystals to .3 cm in length and white dolomite rhombs to .5 cm across. Oddly, the whole underside of the specimen is covered in translucent, lustrous, tan crystals of calcite to .7 cm across. My gut feeling is that this piece dates back at least to the very early 1980s and was probably one of the very first cinnabars to come out in a trickle that shocked the mineral world. I could see htis being a $10k rock at the time....they were that astonishing! Of cours,e more were mined afterwards and came out in the mid 90s. But now, these large cyclic twins are very rare, and good combo specimens like this more so. They certainly dont "make em like they used to" !
