Have you ever seen a specimen such as this? 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!
