Item Description
The Arsenopyrites from the well-known Yaogangxian Mine of China compare favorably with the best in the world. This is a superbly crystallized specimen with five or six striking, splendent, Arsenopyrite crystals that average about 2 cm in size. There is even some development of the famous tooth-like terminations. Overall, the piece is in super condition, with the back end contacted. A very fine Arsenopyrite for the size - much BETTER IN PERSON! From the Charlie Key collection miniatures suite
