Pararealgar
Taki city, Taki county, Mie pref., Japan
Field of view: 5 mm. Pararealgar associated with realgar. The orange part is pararealgar. The massive red part is a crystal of realgar. It seems that pararealgar was formed by alteration of realgar. The surrounding white host is gangue quartz.
Recovered from a quartz vein in a low-temerature hydrothermal vein deposit along a tectonic fault by a caldera complex.
