Arsenopyrite with Sphalerite
specimen number:
8033256
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: 5.0 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm (miniature)
