CINNABAR1

Beautiful red with a shimmering luster. It looks great from both sides (as pictured), the cinnaber crystals wrap around the edge indicating this was a floater. We see loads of cinnabar from china, usually a single crystal here and there (occasionally with crystals glued on calcite matrix as well), Ukraine cinnabar is very scarce on the market, and this is a substantially large cluster of them. No obvious damage (put it under a scope and 1 or 2 rubbed spots), It weighs 67 grams.
