.
NA54AH4: Cinnabar with Calcite
Aggregates of Cinnabar crystals with very well defined faces and edges, with a predominant rhombohedron, translucent, very bright and on a quartzite matrix coated by white Calcite microcrystals. An excellent Spanish classic.
Almaden Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain (±1960-70)

Group of Cinnabar crystals very rich in faces, one of the crystals clearly dominant, transparent, with very bright luster and a bright red color. On matrix, with white Calcite coatings. The specimen comes from the collection of Ignacio Gaspar Sintes (number CIN-52), whose label, accompanied by others that show a good history, we will send to the buyer. Of the best quality for Almadén.
Almaden Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain
Specimen size: 7.5 × 4 × 4 cm = 2.95” × 1.57” × 1.57”

RP66X8: Cinnabar with Calcite
Crystalline growth, on a rock matrix with exfoliated Calcite, a very typical aspect of the old Cinnabar samples found at the place erroneously called “puerto de Tarna,” which really corresponds to the Las Señales mines, also in León province. We note that this Cinnabar has not been acid-treated and that, in spite of the long time passed, maintains its intense luster and vivid red color. A classic, classic, from Spain.
Escarlati Mine, Puerto de las Señales, Maraña, Comarca Montaña Oriental, León, Castile and León  Spain
Specimen size: 6.2 × 4.6 × 5.6 cm = 2.44” × 1.81” × 2.20”

Crystals that have very well defined faces and edges and are translucent, very bright and have an extraordinary color, very vivid. They are on a matrix of black quartzite rock “roca frailesca” (rock of the friars), which is typical from there, with Dolomite and Calcite crystals. Of great quality for the locality due the special brightness of the crystals.
Almaden Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain
Specimen size: 7.9 × 4.8 × 3.5 cm = 3.11” × 1.89” × 1.38”
.

A novelty at Tucson 2020: crystals of Cinnabar with a dominant rhombohedral habit along with other lesser crystal forms, translucent, extraordinarily lustrous and with a very vivid color, on matrix, with small crystals of Calcite and Gypsum. The specimen comes from a recent find that has been carefully analyzed and determined to be Cinnabar, and despite the fact that Metacinnabar was allegedly found in samples from this find, our analyses have not detected any.
Cocineras Mine, West Camp, Santa Eulalia District, Municipio Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua  Mexico (2019)
Specimen size: 3.7 × 2.6 × 1.8 cm = 1.46” × 1.02” × 0.71”
.

Group of Cinnabar crystals whose definition on their faces and edges is very much better than usual. They are translucent, extraordinarily bright and have a very intense and vivid color. On matrix, with Calcite and native Mercury drops and inclusions.
The sample is from the Raúl Sanabria collection whose label we will send to the buyer.
San Teodoro shaft, Almadén Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain (±1970)
Specimen size: 6.2 × 2.5 × 3.8 cm = 2.44” × 0.98” × 1.50”
.
NQ27AL3: Cinnabar with Calcite and Quartz
Rhombohedral Cinnabar crystals, one of them clearly dominant and individual, translucent, shiny, very deep in color, on matrix, with small crystals of Calcite and Quartz

Specimen size: 4.6 × 4 × 1.2 cm = 1.81” × 1.57” × 0.47”

Main crystal size: 0.6 × 0.4 cm = 0.24” × 0.16”

MHH88CD3: Cinnabar with Calcite, Mercury and Pyrite
On a matrix formed by the “frailesca” rock which is typical of the Almadén area, there are several cavities which have developed Cinnabar crystals, one of them clearly dominant with the predominant forms of the rhombohedron, with curved edges, extraordinarily lustrous and deep carmine-red. They are associated with small Calcite crystals and droplets of Mercury scattered in the matrix, plus tiny lustrous Pyrite crystals. A classic association for the now extinct Las Cuevas Mine, in the Almadén mining district, although, unlike most specimens from this mine, the crystal is sharper and redder than what used to come out there.
Las Cuevas Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain
Specimen size: 6.7 × 4.9 × 3.1 cm = 2.64” × 1.93” × 1.22”
.
NB27AG9: Cinnabar with Chalcopyrite and Dolomite
Druse of translucent white rhombohedral Dolomite crystals with included small Cinnabar crystals with a very vivid color and bright small twinned Chalcopyrite crystals. We note that the samples from Almadén with well crystallized accessory species are very rare, and even moreso if included and very visible in clear Dolomite.
Almaden Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain (±1960-70)
Specimen size: 7 × 5.9 × 2.9 cm = 2.76” × 2.32” × 1.14”
.
CF13AJ7: Cinnabar with Dolomite

.
TG14AJ1: Cinnabar with Dolomite
Elongated Cinnabar crystals with excellent rhombohedral terminal faces cut by the pinacoid. The crystals, on a matrix of rhombohedral Dolomite, are transparent, extraordinarily bright and have a very intense color.
We will send the sample in its original Perkin’s box from the R.J. Noble collection, also containing the collection label.

.
TE48AJ9: Cinnabar with Dolomite
The intense ruby-red color and the brightness of the equant Cinnabar crystal contrasts with the snowy white of the rhombohedral Dolomite crystals, with fine curvatures on faces and edges. Simply fascinating.
Chatian Mine, Chatian District, Fenghuang, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province  China
Specimen size: 5.8 × 3.4 × 4.1 cm = 2.28” × 1.34” × 1.61”

NT99AM9: Cinnabar with Dolomite
Cinnabar crystal on matrix with a dominant rhombohedral habit, with very well defined faces and edges, translucent, very lustrous, with an intense color and vivid reflections, associated with white Dolomite crystals. Contrary to what usually happens with Chinese Cinnabar specimens, the matrix has not been sawn on either side.

.
NA94AL9: Cinnabar with Dolomite
Group of twinned rhombohedral crystals of Cinnabar, translucent, very lustrous and with a particularly vivid color. Due to its quality, it is among the best ever found at the classic Almadén locality, currently only open for tourist visits.
The specimen comes from the Ignacio Gaspar Sintes collection (number CIN-37), whose collection card we will send to the buyer, accompanied by a label from Mark Mauthner, in which it appears to have previously been in the Griffin collection and in the Smithsonian (former Carl Bosch collection)

.
RM14L3: Cinnabar with Dolomite
Well formed Cinnabar crystals in a vug, with Quartz and Dolomite. The Folch label advises about the presence of Calomel (Calomelanos) as “small crystals inside the geode” with brown yellowish tones, but after analyses it has been demonstrated that it is Dolomite.
