Arsenopyrite Included in Quartz
Panasquiera, Portugal
Cabinet, 9.8 x 7.0 x 6.9 cm
SOLD
This complete, pristine quartz crystal is good on its own for the locality, but within features a nest of BRILLIANTLY LUSTROUS, SHARP, terminated arsenopyrites to 3 cm in length! I have never seen such large arsenopyrite inclusions within quartz, and from this classic locality it is all the more significant. In person, much more dramatic, but also hard to photograph.
