This Specimen From A Special Collection:
( Purchase David Joyce March 28, 2001)
This cinnabar and stibnite specimen from the Red Devil Mine, Alaska showcases a dramatic natural contrast between form and tone. The deep, rich presence of cinnabar is paired with the elongated, metallic structures of stibnite, creating a composition that feels both intense and finely balanced.
The sharp, linear growth of stibnite adds direction and movement, while the cinnabar brings depth and visual weight to the piece. Together, they form a striking combination that captures attention through contrast and natural elegance, revealing more detail the longer it is observed.
Sourced from a historic Alaskan locality, this specimen carries added significance through its provenance. It comes from a special collection and was acquired from David Joyce on March 28, 2001—enhancing its authenticity and collector appeal.
