Realgar crystals

Description

Realgar is arsenic sulfide. It must be kept in a relatively dark area or it will convert over time into pararealgar. Since it contains arsenic, it's quite poisonous, so don't ingest it!

This looks sort of like crystals of orpiment as opposed to realgar (and I'm not talking about the powdery yellow-orange pararealgar)...the crystals have that dark orangey color that you see in good orpiment crystals. The photo colors may be tricking my eyes, but still nice piece.
