Description

Sharply crystallized, lustrous, metallic, steel gray crystals of arsenopyrite. Scattered about are lustrous, golden cubes of pyrite to 8 mm in size. This is a very attractive alpine ore-combo-specimen from the Joachim Hennrich collection. I did not see many similar specimens at all and this one is probably the finest we ever handled. Just a super piece.
