Item Description

Arsenopyrite crystals from the famous Yaogangxian Mine are world-class and compare favorably with specimens from Panasqueira or Mexico. Intergrown, splendent, sharp, metallic-gray, arsenopyrite crystals comprise this impressive cluster. The large crystal is about 3.0 cm across. Several of the crystals also have classic, sharp, textbook cogwheel terminations. The noted periphery wear is certainly a modest detraction. An excellent specimen from this noted locale with several display possibilities.
