Purple/brown Scheelite crystals to 1.7 cm, Arsenopyrite crystals to 2cm on a Ferberite crystal, size 7 x 3.5 x 2.2 cm. Scheelite was not uncommon at Yaoganxian, but usually in smaller crystals in the 5mm size range.  At 1.7cm, this is a good sized crystal for the locality.  The Aresenopyrite is a well formed crystal, and the Ferberite crystal serving a  matrix for both of them makes for a stunning specimen.  Valued at $250.
