Item Description

Splendent, super-sharp, stepped-growth, metallic-silver, arsenopyrite crystals to 2.8 cm form a striking specimen from this obscure locale in Chihuahua, Mexico. Older material and very seldom available in this quality from this locale. This is world-class arsenopyrite, comparing favorably with the best from other Mexican locales, Panasqueira or the Yaogangxian Mine. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection # 135. Valued at $300-400 for rarity and quality.
