RP66X8: 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.
