An extremely rich ore specimen liberally covered with shiny bubbles or drops of native mercury (quicksilver) and tiny streaks of cinnabar.

This specimen is from an uncommon California locality, the Socrates Mine. VERY RARE IN SPECIMEN FORM and a VERY difficult element to obtain in its pure form for an elements suite in a collection! 5.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 cm
