New Almaden District, Santa Cruz Mts, Santa Clara Co., California, USA

Bright red Ciinnabar covered with clear druzy Quartz. This a very attractive specimen. The specimen is in good condition, but the Quartz coverage is sparse in places. For the most part, under a loupe, one can still see the Quartz. However, at one end, the Quartz is missing and it appears the Cinnabar is bruised. There is some small metallic gray material sparsely mixed in with the Quartz. This is probably Stibnite. On one side (not pictured), there are a couple of layers of black mixed with the Cinnabar. This could possibly be Metacinnabar.
