Xianhuangkuang Mine, Wuyu ("Lantan"), Nandan Co., Hechi Prefecture, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China

A privately operated realgar mine.

Yellow to orange transparent calcite crystals, associated with fine stibnites were first found here in 1998, and came to western market in 2000. Initially, they were erroneously attributed to "Lantan", which is a complete misnomer.
