Mineral background
Realgar is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Realgar specimens
Look for orange-red crystals or masses, often with stibnite or arsenic minerals. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Colour, crystal form, stability and provenance matter.
Care and handling
Light sensitive and toxic if mishandled; keep boxed, dry, labelled and wash hands after handling.
