Description

Peziniók set new standards for this rare mineral. In my evaluation these are the best kermesite specimens world-wide. Although Chian produced crystals in similar good dimensions, these never show this dark vine-red color. And what we have here is not just a sample. This specimen represents this rare antimony mineral in the very best way. The crystals are up to 30mm, all of them show exceptional luster and intense dark vine-red color. It simply represents all important indicators on hand sized specimen. In excellent condition damage-wise.
