Ars - TN 1081 - Arsenopyrite - $ 125 SOLD Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China thumbnail, 2.7 x 2.0 x 1.7 cm CORN01 - Arsenopyrite - $ 850 Porthleven, Cornwall, England miniature, 5.6 x 4.5 x 3.5 cm CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE: CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE: This matrix specimen features extremely lustrous, columnar, metallic gray, crystals of arsenopyrite to 3.0 cm in length, along with arsenopyrite-coated, quartz crystals, to 1.75 cm in length. This area, east of Penzance, is far less known than many of its neighbors. I got this piece out of a generally good source, but it has no older verifying labels. Just to be on the safe side, I did show it to a Cornwall dealer at Denver for confirmation with the result that it seemed "likely" to be legitimate as advertised. It certainly is distinct from other old arsenos from Portugal or Mexico!

This is, in my experience so far from China, truly unique for overall showiness and aesthetics. Sharp, brightly metallic arsenopyrite crystals to about an inch in length are set in a bed of gorgeous, drusy, sparkly purple fluorite. Some of the arsenos show minor damage, but this specimen is special not for its pristine nature so much as its dazzling combination of minerals – royal purple and gold! IN person, it is sure to impress!

The luster is superb – so much so that this was very difficult to shoot, the surfaces were so bright. What really makes this for me, though, is the repeated stepped growth patterns that creates such aesthetic surfaces along the sides and termination of the crystals.
