Item Description

Arsenopyrite and dolomite are both EXTREMELY RARE from this famous Peru mine. MINDAT does not show any examples of either species in the locality photo gallery. To get both species in an aesthetic small cabinet may be UNIQUE. Diverging sprays of splendent metallic arsenopyrite spikes are dramatically and starkly complimented with clusters of pastel-pink etched looking, foliated manganoan dolomite crystals. CHOICE and RARE combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection. A must for the species or locality collector!
