Orpiment
$46.00
A beautiful specimen of orpiment from Russia. No licking (ha), wash hands after handling, and all the common sense poison disclaimers apply here. Orpiment, the golden yellow mineral is an arsenic sulfide that is often found with realgar. It may not surprise you to learn that orpiment is the byproduct of the decay of realgar. The orpiment has a metallic sheen that catches the light. It's like a golden mirror. Stunning!
