Item Description

An attractive and classic Arsenopyrite specimen from this famous locale. Fine, sharp, lustrous, silvery colored, blocky orthorhombic crystals are associated with sparkling soft pink Rhodochrosite and Quartz. The largest Arsenopyrite measures 6 mm, and most of the crystals are completely undamaged. I really love the color contrast and overall form of the piece. The somewhat isolated nature of each Arsenopyrite makes for a good visual arrangement.
