Item Description

Dramatic, stout curved fan-shaped sprays of brilliant silver-metallic flat tabular arenopyrite crystals form a very sculptural and pristine 360-degree small cabinet from this now-famous remote Chinese mine. There are fragments of typically associated ilvaite crystals on the basal attachment. These came out around 2010 and these are world-class arsenopyrites. A very fine example for the size.
