CINNABAR IN OPAL

This is a natural untreated specimen from the B+B mine in Esmeralda County Nevada.USA . This material fluorescences purple .Interesting collectors specimen.

Cinnabar is generally found in a massive, granular or earthy form and is bright scarlet to brick-red in color. It occasionally occurs in crystals with a non-metallic.  Its crystals grow usually in a massive habit, though they are sometimes twined .  The twinning in cinnabar is distinctive and forms a penetration twin that is ridged with six ridges surrounding the point of a pyramid. It could be thought of as two scalahedral crystals grown together with one crystal going the opposite way of the other crystal. The  hardness of cinnabar is 2–2.5, and its specific gravity   8.1.

Generally cinnabar occurs as a vein-filling mineral associated with recent volcanic activity and alkaline hot springs . Cinnabar is deposited by epithermal ascendin aqueous  solutions (those near surface and not too hot) far removed from their igneous source.

It is associated with native mercury, stilbite,pyrite,marcasite,OPAL,quartz,chalcendony,dolmite,clacite and barite.

VOLCANIC OPALS is run by Paul sedawie of Seda Opals.The Seda Opal company was incorporated in 1994.The owner Paul sedawie is the current president of the OPAL ASSOCIATION INC .Seda Opals is an abbreviation from our surname Sedawie. The business is mainly wholesale and it is through this site that we can bring the opal fields and the bargins direct to you. Paul Sedawie started mining at the Four mile field in Lightning Ridge in 1986 with his first partner Bob Young. It took them 6 months to find a decent stone and this experience gave me a healthy respect for the stone and how hard it is to find. Previous to mining opal, Paul ran a successful mail order business in plants for 7 years which gave him a lot of experience servicing customers through parcel post. We use mainly Australia post as it has a excellent reputation for delivery to most parts of the world. I don't do any active mining now but my eldest son Peter Sedawie has taken over. This leaves me free to travel to any opal field in the world and to enjoy the beauty of this magnificent stone. We hope you enjoy our stock and good luck with your biding We have a retail shop/museum at the Gold Coast Opal and Gem Centre 25 surfers av mermaid waters Qld Australia .4218 open mon to sat 10 to 5

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Opal Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
