Item Description

Classic and very showy combination material from Panasqueira and the Schlichter Collection. An aesthetic cluster of splendent, well-striated, metallic-gray, arsenopyrite crystals is nicely accented on one end by glassy, lustrous, colorless/green, hexagonal apatite crystals. The back of the piece shows that the large apatite is doubly terminated and is 1.5 x 1.4 cm. Many more apatites and lustrous siderites cover the back. Excellent two-sided material.
