Bright yellow Karpatite crystals (fluorescent) and small flecks of red Cinnabar in crystalline Quartz. Karpatite is a rare organic mineral. These are found near the Benitoite Gem Mine in San Benito Co. California and were rarely seen until a find made by Rick Kennedy about 10 (?) years ago. This specimen is from that find.
