Deep black plates of Watersite to around 1mm tucked away in Cinnabar and associated with a superb cluster of Edoylerite at the center. There is also a little native mercury and likely other minerals too including Edgarbayleite, Melanophlogite and CCUK-8. It was identified by Gail Dunning. Don't pass this one up if you collect rare minerals.

The color of this one is a deeper green actually with balls to 1.5cm. Great specimen, appealing to the eyes with huge botryoidal balls and several showing the concentric nature in cross-section.
