Thank you, Rob, for the kind comment! I had nearly forgotten these nice zircons, until I "re-found" them while sorting old boxes of my collection.
Stay healthy,
Volkmar

Thank you, Sante!
It is not large, but perfect. It is said that the cinnabars from Erzberg were the best before the appearance of the Chinese ones. Today it's hard to obtain a really good one.
Best wishes and stay healthy,
Volkmar

Hello Bob,
This is not a bubble, but a "window". The crystals show some kind of skeletal growth (the same for the larger one). My photographic skills are not so good to show the details.
Keep safe and healthy,
Volkmar

I was referring to the small oblong item in the middle of the forward looking rhombohedral face, which under magnification does not seem to be rounded enough.
No need to apologize for the photos. The wonderful crystals speak well for themselves. Thanks for sharing them.
I finished getting vaccinated yesterday and wish all our mineral community could have the same so we could get together at the shows. Health and protection to you.

Volkmar, this is one of the most beautiful cinnabar crystals I have seen! And you did a good job with the lighting, if the photo had a higher resolution it could be a cover photo! An outstanding classic, congratulations!

Thank you, Tobi! The "good" picture happened accidentally, as it is made with my mobile phone (as always) without extraordinary efforts.
I am glad, that my cinnabar earns so much attention! I love it, too!
Best wishes,
Volkmar
