Item Description

Intergrown, opposing clusters of striking, parallel-growth, metallic-gray, arsenopyrite blades have dramatic stepped-growth faces and beautiful golden and blue iridescence on this very choice, sculptural specimen from Panasqueira. The scattered ribbons of small calcite rhombs are a super contrast and accent. Classic and excellent combination material.
