Large specimen of highly irridescent Pyrhottite crystals and Arsenopyrite on bright blue Bornite. The Pyrhottite are also all oriented in the same direction. This was the best of only a few I saw available at the Tucson show. Some of the Pyrhottite crystals are partially coated by Pyrite. Neither the Aresenopyrite or Pyrite are irridescent. Undamaged and highly showy and colorful piece. Valued at $800.
