MHH88CD3: Cinnabar with Calcite, Mercury and Pyrite
On a matrix formed by the “frailesca” rock which is typical of the Almadén area, there are several cavities which have developed Cinnabar crystals, one of them clearly dominant with the predominant forms of the rhombohedron, with curved edges, extraordinarily lustrous and deep carmine-red. They are associated with small Calcite crystals and droplets of Mercury scattered in the matrix, plus tiny lustrous Pyrite crystals. A classic association for the now extinct Las Cuevas Mine, in the Almadén mining district, although, unlike most specimens from this mine, the crystal is sharper and redder than what used to come out there.
Las Cuevas Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain
Specimen size: 6.7 × 4.9 × 3.1 cm = 2.64” × 1.93” × 1.22”

Cinnabar with Mercury.
TFB93CD4: Cinnabar with Mercury
Group of numerous Cinnabar crystals with perfectly defined faces and edges, dominated by rhombohedron forms, translucent and very lustrous, and very vivid in color with marked striations on the crystal faces and on matrix. An excellent classic of Spanish mineralogy from the collection of Andrés Jiménez Shelly whose label we will send to the buyer, and on which the annotation M.C.N. is observed, indicating that it belonged to the Museum of Natural Sciences of Madrid.
Almaden Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain
Specimen size: 10 × 5.2 × 4.2 cm = 3.94” × 2.05” × 1.65”

Main crystal size: 0.8 × 0.7 cm = 0.31” × 0.28”
Price: €940 / US$1021 / ¥159660 / AUD$1530
Cinnabar with Quartz.
EXM71CDD: Cinnabar with Quartz
From the early days of the arrival of minerals from China to Europe, this is a good Cinnabar, with a very isolated and well-developed crystal in its Quartz matrix.
Tongren Mine, Tongren, Tongren Prefecture, Guizhou Province  China
Specimen size: 9.3 × 8.4 × 3.3 cm = 3.66” × 3.31” × 1.30”
Price: €660 / US$717 / ¥112100 / AUD$1070

TPM56CD5: Cinnabar with Quartz with Cinnabar inclusions
A rarity for Almadén, not only because of the minerals it contains but because of how they interact with each other. Very dark vermilion Cinnabar crystals are deposited on a matrix of 'piedra frailesca', but mostly covered by a druse of Quartz crystals with Cinnabar inclusions that make the Quartz look like it has iron oxide staining but which is really caused by the reddish mercury sulfide. This specimen comes from the former collection of Andrés Jiménez Shelly.
Las Cuevas Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain (1999-2002)
Specimen size: 5.2 × 3.2 × 3.1 cm = 2.05” × 1.26” × 1.22”

Main crystal size: 0.4 × 0.2 cm = 0.16” × 0.08”
Price: [SOLD]
