Specimen of solid Crocoite from the famous Red Lead Mine. Unlike some localities that produce more orange/red, hollow crystals, the Red Lead Mine is known for bright red, solid, and often transparent crystals. This specimen is composed of solid, intergrown masses of crystals with a 3cm vug filled with bright red glassy crystals.
