Realgar was rare at Langban having been found in scare quantities. In the book "Langban" et al by Bollmark et al, they explain it occured in two different paragenesis one in magnetite and the other granular Hematite. This specimen is the granular Hematite, which according to the book was found in 1937 by EG Varg. The specimen is very rich with corroded crystals to 2mm. There is an unidentified acicular crystal which occurs in bundles within the vugs.

Realgar is actually quite rare at Langban. This specimen is probably the second occurence as noted in the Langban book by Bollmark with Realgar in granular hematite. There are actually good prismatic crystal forms on this specimen one of which is a nicely terminated crystal sticking straight up. By all considerartions this is likely a very nice specimen from Langban. Associated with the Realgar are white, acicular or fibrous crystals within many of the vugs.
