Until the early 1980's, fine twinned cinnabar specimens from China were all but unheard of. In the last few years fine, untwined cinnabar specimens have come available. This magnificent specimen features a cluster of pristine, frosted, very lustrous, translucent, cherry red cinnabar crystals, to 2.0 cm across, aesthetically perched on ivory colored dolomite. These large untwinned crystals are actually LESS common than the twins we all wanted when they first came out, and often overlooked. This one is world class in color, size and aesthetics!
