The tin-iron deposits of Huanggang are a huge market source of spectacular Arsenopyrite specimens, of which this is a superb example. Every angle of this piece shows stunning, rounded clusters of Arsenopyrite that have a brilliant silver-bright luster and are detailed with sharp geometric growths. The center and bottom of the specimen's front side concaves inward, creating a nice alcove that gives the specimen a three-dimensional effect. Scattered throughout the alcove and the bottom of the display view are several crystals of thin, pale green Calcite crystals. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
