Arsenopyrite with Sphalerite, Quartz
specimen number:
8033254
location:
Quiruvilca mine, La Libertad, Peru
description:
Interesting needlelike highly lustrous crystals of terminated arsenopyrite to 0.7 cm in size coming off a crystallized black sphalerite matrix with minor quartz. Very sparse and minimal micro-chipping present as seen in the photo and video, overall for what this is I think in very fine condition. Quite neat for the species.
Size: 7.5 x 4.0 x 2.0 cm (small-cabinet)
