TC280AE

Doubly terminated crystal of the isomorphous series Dissakisite-(Ce)/Allanite-(Ce). The majority of Trimouns specimens present color zoning that seems to indicate the presence of both species in the same crystal, the darkest areas corresponding to Allanite-(Ce), as they are richer in iron, and the dominant lighter areas to Dissakisite-(Ce). On matrix, with white rhombohedral Dolomite crystals.

TC90TZ

Cinnabar crystals with a dominant rhombohedral shape plus minor crystal forms, translucent, extraordinarily lustrous and with a very vivid color, on matrix with small crystals of Calcite, Quartz. The specimen has been carefully analyzed and determined to be Cinnabar and, although it was suggested that Metacinabar could be found in these specimens too, our analyses have not detected any. We will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.

Polycrystalline growths of complex shapes, with well defined edges and faces, slightly curved, transparent, very lustrous and with a very deep and uniform honey-brown color, with small coatings of white rhombohedral Dolomite crystals. This piece comes from some small artisanal finds that were made in the mine after its closure. There is currently no access to the galleries.
