Realgar
China
7.46 carats
© Rarestone.com
Realgar forms red to orange-yellow prismatic crystals or granular masses. The crystals disintegrate to a powder after long exposure to light. However, this process takes a very long time. Realgar specimens should be kept in the dark, in an eclosed container.
Realgar is a very rare gem. It is very soft and somewhat unstable.
