Item Description
The Arsenopyrites from the well-known Yaogangxian Mine of China compare well with many of the better Arsenopyrites from around the world. This specimen has three striking, splendent, Arsenopyrite crystals that range up to about 2.2 cm in size. The main faces are superbly striated, and they are just beginning to develop the highly aesthetic tooth-like terminations. Overall, the piece is in excellent condition, with only the back end contacted.
