Ferberite, Fluorite (fl), Arsenopyrite, and Quartz

Item Description

The Ferberite crystals on this large plate are textbook. They are sharp, highly lustrous, well-teminated, and they stand beautifully and dramatically among a forest of Quartz crystals. The Ferberites are over 3 cm long, and they are also complemented by metallic, pyramidal Aresenopyrite and cubic, fluorescent purple Fluorites. From the famous Yaogangxian Mine of China, this piece probably dates to the early 1990s. Outstanding and aesthetic, this large cab was originally priced at $ 4,500.
