Item Description
A superbly crystallized and EXCELLENT CABINET plate covered with lustrous, battleship-gray arsenopyrite crystals to 3.2 cm. A few scattered quartz crystals and a bit of green chlorite are a nice accent. Overall, the arsenopyrites are in very good condition, with only one bruised crystal. The couple of broken quartz crystals are certainly not much of a detraction to this IMPOSING, large piece from the famous Yaogangxian Mine of China. This is a major arsenopyrite specimen, and displays very well from both sides, as you can see.
