30337: Realgar/Pararealgar and Ulexite -
Was $14 Now $7 Boron Open Pit, Boron, Kramer Borate District, Kern County, California Cabinet - 11.2 x 6.1 x 3.0 cm 202 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order Patches of opaque, red realgar on
opaque, silky ulexite. The realgar has been partly
converted to orange pararealgar (not orpiment as is widely
believed), but pure patches of unaltered realgar can most
likely be found by breaking the specimen apart. Specimens
having this association are now much harder to find since
the dumps have been off limits to collecting for 15 years
or so.
