Cinnabar from Almadén Mine, Almadén, Ciudad Real, Castile-La Mancha, Spain
Small scarlet-red specimens of Cinnabar from Almadén Mine, Spain.
The deposits at Almadén have been worked for nearly two millenia and produced a third of all Mercury in that time - it is the largest known Mercury deposit on Earth.
Under high magnification, crystals are visible; to the naked eye these specimens look to just be a crust over matrix.
Toxic mineral: Cinnabar is an ore of mercury and should be handled with care.
