Item Description

Yaogangxian is well known for a number of fine quality specimens, but a lot of people may not know it produced some fine Arsenopyrites. This attractive thumbnail features a 1.2 cm, sharp, lustrous, metallic, silvery-white colored multi-terminated Arsenopyrite group with a few additional Arsenos associated with translucent golden colored Muscovite and one tiny gem purple Fluorite cube. The only minor contacts I can see on the display side are on the Muscovite groups, but overall the front of the piece is in great shape. An aesthetic, showy thumbnail of this wonderful material from Yaogangxian.
