Item Description

A rare combo specimen from the famous Yaogangxian Mine featuring sharp, well-formed, silvery crystals of Arsenopyrite measuring up to 1.1 cm across associated with sparkling jet black Cassiterite crystals and a few prismatic, white / colorless Quartz crystals. This particular association is not terribly common from this mine, and would make a nice addition to any collection of Chinese minerals, worldwide thumbnails or association specimens.
