Who knew that arsenic could be so stunning? This vibrant print captures the mesmerizing beauty of CAN-4442, a rare specimen of Orpiment found in the Shimen Mine of Hunan, China. With its striking yellow hues and intricate crystal formations, this mineral is truly a work of art from Mother Earth herself. But don't let its alluring appearance fool you! Orpiment may be used in tanning hides to remove hair, but it's definitely not your average skincare ingredient. We wouldn't recommend adding it to your beauty routine anytime soon! This close-up shot allows us to appreciate the wonders of geology up close and personal. The monoclinic structure of this arsenic sulfide compound is like nothing we've ever seen before. It's as if nature decided to create a masterpiece using volcanic heat springs as her canvas. So next time you're looking for an eye-catching addition to your home or office decor, why not consider hanging this unique piece by John Cancalosi on your wall? Not only will it spark conversations about our planet's incredible diversity, but it'll also remind you that even something as seemingly dangerous as arsenic can have its own kind of beauty.
