Realgar: A Rare and Fascinating Sulfide Mineral from the Natural History Museum, London This stunning photograph showcases a beautiful specimen of Realgar, a rare and captivating sulfide mineral. With its vibrant red hue and glassy appearance, Realgar, also known as ruby sulphur or arsenic sulphide, is a true gem in the world of minerals. Originating from the Natural History Museum in London, this specimen is a testament to the rich and diverse collection of geological treasures housed within its walls. Realgar is a non-metallic sulfide mineral, composed of arsenic and sulfur, making it a unique member of the sulfide and oxide mineral groups. The mineral's name derives from the Latin word "realis," meaning "real," and "gar," meaning "red," reflecting its distinct color. Realgar is a member of the corundum group, which also includes ruby and sapphire, and is closely related to the hematite group. The crystal structure of Realgar is characterized by its deep red color, which is caused by the presence of arsenic and sulfur. The mineral often forms in a crust-like structure, with crystals ranging in size from microscopic to several centimeters. Despite its striking appearance, Realgar is not only a visual delight but also holds significant scientific importance. Its unique chemical composition and crystal structure make it a valuable subject of study for geologists, mineralogists, and chemists. This photograph captures the essence of Realgar's beauty and rarity, inviting us to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and the treasures that lie within the collections of our museums.
