Item Description

A striking, sharp, splendent silver-metallic arsenopyrite crystal has a nifty, dense stepped-growth termination and striated prism face. You can see hints of lavender iridescence under bright light. The crystal is dramatically framed by rosettes of white, translucent calcite disks. Modest pink calcite fluorescence. Complete all-around and pristine. A classic, very aesthetic and excellent two-sided combination from the famous Yaogangxian Mine and the Cynthia Payne Collection.
