Description from the seller
Realgar, Orpiment
Jiepaiyu Mine, Shimen Deposit, Shimen County, Changde, Hunan, China
390×230 mm 8050 g
Do you like realgar? Do you want a truly large one? This exceptional specimen will definitely not disappoint you.
It’s likely that more than one dealer is watching this video and wondering how many smaller pieces could be obtained from such a massive crystal group. But that would be a shame — giants like this have not been mined for a long time. The Jiepaiyu (Shimen) deposit is now closed and exhausted, and it is precisely from there that the world’s finest realgar crystals originate.
The entire piece is extraordinarily aesthetic and impressive.
This specimen features sharp, lustrous, and in places almost gem-like translucent red crystals of realgar, averaging about 3 cm in size. It is exceptionally aesthetic and represents a true collector’s rarity.
An outstanding, museum-quality specimen of realgar with orpiment from the legendary Jiepaiyu Mine.
After more than 30 years in a private collection, this exclusive piece is now leaving its owner.
It comes with a hand-carved display base that perfectly highlights its exceptional character.
