Item Description

Sharp and showy cluster of three Arsenopyrite crystals, highlighted with a cluster of Quartz crystals and a dusting of sulfides. The central, and largest, Arsenopyrite is 2.7 x 2.3 cm, and it has a good metallic luster and a silvery color highlighted by a gold and purple-blue sheen on the termination. The Quartz crystals are gemmy, and the sulfides add visual and mineralogical interest. A very good and aesthetic combination piece.
