This was the main novelty from Tucson 2000. These were found in April 99 at the Twin Creeks mine, north of Winnemucca, Humboldt County, Nevada. Many specimens were found, but the majority of them were pale orange or yellow. The Orpiment was found in the 62 bench of the mine and the geologists seeing them decided to preserve them so they were removed manually with great care.
Orpiment is a stable mineral that does not alter over time, however like many other minerals it is sensitive to sun light so it is best to display specimens in darker areas of your display.
