Item Description

Choice, and very attractive, Aresenopyrite from Yaogangxian. This impressive piece is composed of one very dramatic, razor-sharp, and highly lustrous Arsenopyrite 5 cm long, growing on a 3 cm Asenopyrite crystal that serves as the stalk. On the stalk are numerous and sharp .5 cm Arenopyrite crystals.The cockscomb terminations are layered on the main crystal and as sharp and well-defined as you will find. First-class and aesthetic, this is one of the best Arsenopyrites I have come across from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. A killer miniature.
