Superb, well-crystallized specimen of well-formed dark red Lorandite crystals on Realgar with minor Orpiment from the type locality for Lorandite at Allchar, Rzanovo, Kavadarci Municipality, North Macedonia. A significant specimen for this rare Thallium mineral, with several old collection labels including prominent collector Rukin Jelks, the University of Arizona, and Dr. George Kamin. Very rare!!
