Item Description
Several beautiful "cocks comb" crystal groups of sharp, metallic brassy-silver colored Arsenopyrite with excellent associated purple cubes of Fluorite on matrix from Yaogangxian. Minor Muscovite and Quartz can be seen on the piece as well. The largest Arsenopyrite crystal group measures 1.3 cm across. I have not seen many specimens with this attractive form, and it must be said that fewer and fewer pieces have been coming out of this mine in recent years, so don't miss out. Great quality overall, with very eye-catching aesthetics, and BETTER in person!
