Large hemispherical mound of Arsenopyrite crystals studded with dark Sphalerite crystals from Stanta Eulalia. The 'matrix' is solid crystalline Sphalerite and the Arsenopyrite is layered on top with some crystals of Sphalerite protruding through the Arsenopyrite. This is an old collection piece and comes with a 'Columbine Mineral Shop' label showing a price of $30 from likely decades ago. Valued at $200 today.
