Small micro inclusions of Cinnabar run in bands through a common opal matrix. The color of the Cinnabar ranges from pink to mauve to light purple. The surface has a glossy luster more so where there are small indivudual, flat surfaces. This is a bit different than similar specimens I have seen from the area which are often used for lapidary purposes.

Condition: Composed of massive material.

Flaws: Essentially massive material.
