This is a really choice and unusual example for the species with elongated crystals of arsenopyrite to 13.0 cm in length across the top of this sphalerite matrix. Crystals of siderite are scattered throughout. This is in terrific condition. Very impressive for the species. The specimen comes with a previous label that notes that at one time the specimen was in the collection of Russell Honea.
