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)
