Quartz Crystal with Arsenopyrite from Huanggang Mine, Inner Mongolia, China – 119 grams

A striking quartz crystal rising from a dense arsenopyrite matrix, offering a beautiful contrast between soft, translucent quartz and sharp, metallic mineral textures. The quartz crystal shows a well-defined termination with a slightly creamy to translucent appearance and natural surface character.

The base is composed of arsenopyrite, displaying a silvery metallic luster with blocky crystal formations typical of the species. Subtle reflective faces throughout the matrix add depth and visual interest, complementing the vertical presence of the quartz.
