 | "Like other Elbrusskiy orpiment specimens, this one has that unusual transparent orange color. The crystals are radial clusters of transparent orange, with excellent terminations, on Barite. Orpiment is a rare mineral that usually forms with realgar. In fact the two minerals are almost always together. Crystals of orpiment are extremely rare as it usually forms masses and crusts. Orpiment is derived from the latin auripigmentum, or golden pigment." Location: El' Brusskiy (Elbrusskiy) Mine, Northern Caucasus Region, Russia
