Arsenopyrite with Apatite

Item Description

A really attractive and well-formed specimen of lustrous, sharp, "cockscomb" habit Arsenopyrite sitting atop small, gemmy, pale green hexagonal "barrels" of Apatite from the famous Panasqueira Mine in Portugal. Great form and overall arrangement with only a slight amount of damage. It's not easy to find good Arsenopyrites from this locality, as they are usually only associations of more significant species.
