Orpiment
One of the finest specimens of this material I have seen, because it has unusual aesthetics in the crystals that formed isolated sprays showing the matrix in between—creating a bit of contrast. Usually, these form thick carpets of solid growth, without individual sprays. These specimens have the top quality color saturation for the find.
