Very sharp grouping of elegant Arsenopyrite crystals, the largest reaching 2.3 cm. 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.
