Arsenopyrite (ex Dr. Miguel Romero Collection)

Item Description

A fine quality and really attractive specimen featuring a group of very sharp, highly lustrous, metallic / splendent, silver "wedge"-shaped crystals of Arsenopyrite free of matrix. Minor attached Quartz can be seen on the back of the specimen. These are very good sized crystals, not only for the locality, but also for the species in general. Very good quality, with only a bit of roughness along the back edge exterior. From the collection of Senator / Dr. Miguel Romero of Teuhuacan, Mexico (the number painted on the piece has been partially scratched off for some reason).
