On this specimen, there are abundant spherical sprays of radiating white colored, needle like crystals of Picropharmacolite. The white Picropharmacolite stands out nicely against the red/orange colored massive Realgar making for a very attractive specimen.

Condition: Very Good

Flaws: The Picropharmacolite is in excellent condition, but the Realgar is just massive material.
