With vibrant shades ranging from lemon yellow to honey gold, Orpiment resembles fossilized sunlight. However, polished specimens are a true rarity: with a Mohs hardness of only 1.5 to 2, this mineral would crumble in a tumbling machine. Therefore, we offer exclusively hand-shaped unique pieces.

Our artisans mindfully follow the natural cleavage of the crystal until the characteristic pearly to resinous luster emerges. You are purchasing a fragile, breathtaking collector's item that we have photographed individually.Safety advice: As beautiful as this stone is, Orpiment is a highly toxic mineral! It is a display specimen and must under no circumstances be used to prepare gem water. The classification is H301 (Toxic if swallowed), H331 (Toxic if inhaled), and H410 (Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects). Wash your hands after direct contact with the stone. Do not eat or drink while handling the stone. Ensure that the stone does not break or release dust.
