This is a way beyond normal quality, stunning example of intergrown, splendent, silvery-white crystals of arsenopyrite. They reach to 4.5 cm in length. As it so happened, most of the crystals are also doubly terminated and this is just one of the finest arsenopyrite miniatures I can imagine, competing even with the best of Chinese material which has come out in abundance in recent years. There is a subtle curvature to the crystals in this specimen, and a sharper point at the termination, that together makes it stand out from Chinese material
