Item Description

A beautiful "cocks comb" crystal group of sharp, metallic brassy-silver colored Arsenopyrite from Yaogangxian. I have not seen many specimens with this attractive form, and the crystals are very good sized for the locality. Minor associated Quartz crytals make for a nice touch. The piece has a few "rubs" so it's not 100% perfect, but the main large crystal in the center is undamged, and the piece is still a nice miniature size display specimen.
