Item Description
Multiple, beautiful crystal groups of lustrous, sharp, metallic brassy-silver colored Arsenopyrite from Yaogangxian. One of the crystals has the classic "cocks comb" appearance when viewed from the side. The largest crystal group measures 1.0 cm across. Minor associated Pyrite can be seen on the side of the piece as well. I have not seen many specimens with this attractive form, and it must be said that fewer and fewer pieces have been coming out of this mine in recent years, so don't miss out.
