Fluorite with Arsenopyrite

Unknown Owner
Gorgeous gemmy blue and purple zoned fluorite juxtaposed with lustrous terminated arsenopyrite crystals. The fluorite is nearly water clear with sharp interior purple “phantom” zones. The Yaogangxian Mine is a historic tungsten-tin deposit that has been mined since the early 1910s and is known in the mineral community for producing amazing fluorite and sulfide specimens like the one featured here.
