Description: Crocoite, Adelaid Mine, Dundas, TasmaniaThe mineral Crocoite (“Red Lead”) is a hugely popular mineral species owing to its stunning saffron-red color, prismatic habit and sublime translucency. Less known is the historical factoid that the mineral was used to first isolate chromium in 1792, leading to an explosion in industries as varied as dye manufacturing and metallurgy. The original deposits at the source locality in Berezovsk, near Yekaterinburg in the Urals, have long been exhausted. Fortunately, the Adelaid Mine in Dundas, Tasmania now serves as the prime source of crocoite in the world. 35 x 25 x 15 mm. REF: MF-10-5.
