Description
Here we have a LARGE, fine and classic. old-time Italian Cinnabar specimen from Cerreto Piano of Scansano at Grosseto province. Typical for the locality, this specimen is composed of a nodular aggregate of massive, botryoidal Cinnabar formed as a floater within a granular Quartz and Mica group matrix. The black massive mineral may be one of the hydrocarbons sometimes associated with mercury-bearing mineral deposits. A very rare piece, exceedingly hard to come by and consequently a great chance to get hold of such a rare and classic piece.
