Recent mining at the Yaogangixian has turned up these gorgeous combo specimens of PURPLE FLUORITE with glittery crystals of arsenopyrite; this specimen has the added attraction of a fine quartz crystal centered on the specimen. Smaller quartz crystals are intermixed with the fluorites and arsenos. The large quartz crystal has some wear on the top edge, but with the overall piece being this pretty, you can cut it some slack. 8.2 x 6.2 x 4.6 cm
