ZA73G7: Cinnabar (twinned) with Quartz and Dolomite
An excellent group of twinned crystals of Cinnabar, the biggest one reaching a considerable size. They are on a very rich matrix of Quartz crystals. The red color is better than usual on the specimens with this kind of twin. The main crystal, in its upper right faces, is partially covered by little white Quartz crystals. Matrix has been cut on the back, as is usual with Chinese Cinnabar, due to the fragility of the Cinnabar crystals.
The specimen has been published in the book 'China', by Berthold Ottens, on page 155

Specimen size: 8.2 × 6.4 × 3.7 cm = 3.23” × 2.52” × 1.46”
.
TB56H3: Cinnabar on Dolomite
Subtle sample. On a matrix of Calcite crystals perch two perfect crystals of Cinnabar. They have sharp faces and edges, transparent and bright, and the color is incredible. A little jewel.

Main crystal size: 0.8 × 0.6 cm = 0.31” × 0.24”
.
EV37K0: Cinnabar on Dolomite
Sharp prismatic crystal of hexagonal shape and parallel growths. It has bright and very well defined faces and edges and strongly contrasts with the Dolomite matrix. As usual with this kind of Chinese samples, the matrix is more or less sawn, but in this case it doesn’t affect the esthetics of the specimen.
Chatian Mine, Chatian District, Fenghuang, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province  China (2006)
Specimen size: 7.4 × 4.5 × 5 cm = 2.91” × 1.77” × 1.97”
.
TB70H7: Cinnabar on Dolomite
Crystal of Cinnabar of thick tabular habit and hexagonal shape. Both the faces and the edges are very sharp and bright and the crystals strongly contrast with the matrix of yellowish Dolomite. As usually happens with Chinese Cinnabars, the matrix has been sawn on the back, but not affecting, in this case, the esthetics of the specimen.
Chatian Mine, Chatian District, Fenghuang, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province  China (2003-2006)
Specimen size: 6.2 × 6.8 × 4.5 cm = 2.44” × 2.68” × 1.77”

.
MB26E9: Cinnabar on Dolomite
The crystals, formed of a sharp rhombohedron and terminated by small triangular faces of the pinacoid, have extraordinary definition, transparency and size. It is nicely positioned on a matrix of Dolomite. A great one. We should warn you that the back of the specimen has been cut with a saw to protect the Cinnabar crystals.
Chatian Mine, Chatian District, Fenghuang, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province  China (2004)
Specimen size: 8.3 × 6 × 2.7 cm = 3.27” × 2.36” × 1.06”
.
TR36W4: Cinnabar on Quartz

.
TC86E4: Cinnabar with Baryte
Cinnabar is quite unusual from the Maramures area. It has only been found very occasionally, and even then it is found in botryoidal groups of micro crystals, not well-defined crystals. The intensity of the color, rarity and the fact that it is associated with Baryte make this old timer very interesting.
