Item Description

A sharply crystallized and fine, 3-dimensional CABINET specimen of nearly solid, lustrous, battleship-gray arsenopyrite crystals. The complex, stepped-growth face crystals reach a huge 7.3 cm on this piece! Overall, the arsenopyrites are in very good condition. There is some contacting, with embedded matrix, but it does not detract. This is a major arsenopyrite specimen and displays well, as you can see, from three sides. This showy piece is from the famous Yaogangxian Mine of China. Ex Sanabria Collection. BETTER IN PERSON! Valued $800-1000.
