DZ1912 - Arsenopyrite on Quartz with Muscovite
Panasqueira Mine, Barroca Grande, Beira Baxia, Portugal
small cabinet - 8.6 x 5.5 x 5.4 cm
$ 750.00

After all these years of collecting, Panasqueira is still one of my favorite localities. This specimen has a single euhedral quartz crystal with an unusual and appealing luster on the pyramidal faces. The back half of the quartz crystal is draped in small muscovite books. Several large arsenpyrite crystals eminate from within the quartz to form a crown on the top.
