Myrickite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wiki letter w.svg
This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find links tool for suggestions. (February 2009)
Myrickite is a name used for both the agatized and opalized cinnabar materials. With a Mohs hardness of 7, the agatized form is a red-orange with bits of white, whereas the opalized material is orange and black and is 5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Although similar in color, this material should not be confused with the stone from China referred to as "Chicken Blood", as that material is a cinnabar stained serpentine with a hardness of 2.5-4. Unique to the United States, Myrickite is found at only one location in any quantity. During the early 1950s, Myrickite had been found in small quantities at the Manhattan Mine,[1] located in Napa County, California, USA.
The name "Myrickite" is a lapidary term like "Montana Agate" or "Thunder Egg", not a mineral name. In addition, the percentage of mercury (0.01%) in this material is enough to give Myrickite its beautiful coloring. Myrickite is named after Francis Marion "Shady" Myrick who discovered it while prospecting in California's Death Valley in 1911.[2

While showing these specimens from Siber & Siber I would like to mention that Kirby Siber has created what I consider the finest paleo museum in the world, featuring dinosaurs but with so much more. There is also a beautiful mineral room for those who need to see great minerals. The museum is in Aathal, just outside of Zurich, in Switzerland. I cannot emphasize how great this museum is. In their shop they also have a fine selection of mineral specimens for sale, including some wonderful quartzes from Switzerland.
