Item Description

I know that Chinese specimens are everywhere, but you must appreciate them for what they are. China has provided collectors with a large amount of fine collector quality display specimens, many of which are regarded as some of the finest crystallized examples of their respective species extant. One day (eventually) China will not produce any more of these amazing minerals and they will receive great recognition for being the superb display specimens that they are. This Arsenopyrite is a fine quality and highly representative piece from Yaogangxian. It features beautiful, splendent, blocky crystal groups of sharp, metallic silver colored Arsenopyrite. Nearly damage free, and fairly thick for the species in general. Ex Art Soregaroli collection.
