Realgar Mineral Specimen (Russia)
Realgar is an arsenic sulfide mineral with a brilliant red-pink color and a chemical composition of As4S4. It is used in the manufacturing of fireworks and was historically used as a red pigment and as a poison for weeds and insects. Realgar is also an important collector's mineral. Ancient civilizations in Greece and China used this mineral as a pigment or as a talisman to ward off negative energy. Metaphysically Realgar is known to ignite your creativity and passion in your life. It helps with creative blocks. Adding it to your workplace will bring enthusiasm, passion, and creativity to your work. It is a stone that brings awareness of change. Just as it transforms its appearance (from realgar to pararealgar) without changing its composition, it brings an understanding of how humans can transform and remain true to themselves. It is important to make sure to wear gloves or wash your hands after handling realgar. Keep away from children and pets.
