Item Description
Fine quality arsenopyrite and manganoan calcite specimens are very uncommon from this well-known Peruvian district. A striking dense forest of sprays of pastel-pink manganoan calcite scalenohedrons artistically covers much of the large matrix plate of nifty, stepped-growth, arsenopyrite spearpoint blades. A very fine and rare large combination from Pachapaqui. Ex Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection. Neon-orange fluorescence, as you would expect.
