Undamaged floater specimen of Arsenopyrite, well crystallized all around. There are all sorts of stepped, metallic surfaces that flash colors of silver and gold, with areas that flare out causing the whole (to me) to resemble a spaceship. Right where the cockpit would be sits a perfect Chacopyrite crystal upon which sits a small black Cassiterite crystal. Fine and unusual specimen.
