Arsenopyrite - Yaogangxian Mine, Hunan, China
A terrific small cabinet-sized specimen of Arsenopyrite crystals - an Iron Arsenic Sulfide - along with crystals of basic Quartz, on matrix, from the renowned Yaogangxian (YGX) mine in Hunan Province, China. Please remember - Arsenopyrite is the primary ore of elemental Arsenic. This is not a specimen that you would want to handle frequently. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight and keep it out of prolonged high-humidity display locations. Arsenopyrite can and will decompose under these conditions. Under normal display conditions (glass display cabinets with interior lighting), there are no issues. You will be proud to have this one in your collection! Specimen comes with an acrylic easel display stand and proper identification label, ready for your display.
