This Gemmie is Realgar and Orpiment.
A rare variation of Gemmie since both minerals have a hardness of 2. Most Gemmies with low Mohz hardness die before they are born. This one happens to be lucky, sorta.
Realgar and Orpiment are highly toxic, being the major ore of Arsenic.
While Gemmies are immune to most poisons, they tend to avoid low Mohz Gemmies in fear of unintentionally hurting them.

Don't have to keep this lore, I just threw it in for some fun!

And while I have the chance, I"m gonna make a little PSA

Recently its become a minor trend to use realgar for jewelry.
DON:T DO THIS
Realgar has a hardness of 2. To give an idea of how soft that is, your fingernails are a 2.5. You can scratch Realgar with just your fingernails, which means its really easy for arsenic dust to get under your fingernails and in the air.
Please be very careful when handling certain minerals!!
