Description

Very rich arsenopyrite specimen featuring one main visible drusy populated by myriads of crystals. The matrix is solid arsenopyrite, and the specimen hosts a second drusy with several crystals, also well terminated. Crystals are lustrous and very fresh, with the typical habitus and flat or low pyramidal termination, and are occasionally associated to clear quartz crystals, giving a pleasant display.
In very good conditions and with no visible signs of alteration, the specimen comes from the Cedric Rogers mineral collection. This specific arsenopyrite was published on Rogers' "Rocks & Minerals" book, page 73.
