Arsenopyrite w/ Quartz & Muscovite

Item Description

Arsenopyrite crystals from the famous Yaogangxian Mine are world-class and compare favorably with specimens from Panasqueira or Mexico. This is an exceptional and aesthetic combination specimen. Splendent, metallic-gray, arsenopyrite crystals are beautifully accented by a 2.3 cm, glassy, water-clear quartz crystal with a nearby cluster of lustrous, brass-yellow, chalcopyrite crystals. Scattered about are more chalcopyrites and there are muscovite books on the back. The striking, sharp, doubly terminated arsenopyrite is 4.1 cm. A fine 360-degree specimen, that is nearly pristine, with only a bit of bruising on the back of the piece. The former dealer label has a $950 price.
