Arsenopyrite and Quartz

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 to 2.0 cm form a sculptural specimen and are very artistically complimented with a parallel-growth pair of glassy quartz crystal points to 3.0 cm. Little knobs of tiny muscovite plates are a nifty additional accent. This is an excellent and showy combination specimen from this noted locale.
