Arsenopyrite w/ Fluorite (fluorescent) & Quartz (superb miniature)

Item Description

A superb and outstandingly aesthetic combination miniature from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. A fabulous, sharp, splendent metallic arsenopyrite pseudo-octahedron has striking stepped-growth ends. Two interpenetrating transparent, color-zoned light pastel-blue with white interior phantoms, a hint of purple and frosted faces fluorite cubes are dramatically perched on the arsenopyrite with strikingly accenting matrix that includes a myriad of tiny fluorites, quartz points, tiny muscovite plates and massive quartz. Simply an outstanding 360-degree combination, that is essentially pristine. A contact on the upper edge of a fluorite cube is noted, but has no damage, per se. Classic and exceptionally fine combination material from this locale. Purple fluorescence. Ex Ron & Bunny Thomas Collection of Indiana. Valued at $1250
