Description
Locality: Panasquiera, Portugal 1970s. Size Class: Large Cabinet. Collection: Schertz Collection. Panasquiera is a famous, large tin-tungsten mine that started production in 1898. For mineral collectors, the best specimens (including this, most likely) came out in the 1970s-1980s. Most specimens of collector quality are small, 1" - 4". Only very rarely, did large pieces come out and get preserved. This is a huge piece, then, by relative scale. It is completely undamaged, and is a dramatic mass of intergrown crystals of very lustrous arsenopyrite. The crystals have an unusual, elegant curvature to them. The piece weighs about 10 pounds. Size 24.0 x 17.0 x 5.8 cm.
