Arsenopyrite with Native Gold Nova Scotia, Canada 5.1cm x 4.42cm x 3.38cm Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum No. DM-3157

Description/Interesting Notes: An old time example of arsenopyrite with native gold from Nova Scotia!!! This specimen consists of a complex mass of intergrown crystals of silvery arsenopyrite crystals that host scattered masses of native gold!!! Among the silvery arsenopyrite crystals are darkly colored areas of intergrown matrix that have razor-sharp impressions of arsenopyrite crystals that cause them to look like crystals themselves!!! The native gold is present as a small vein included within the arsenopyrite crystals and a few tiny grains scattered around the specimen!!! It is difficult to see the gold on this specimen, however upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see that there are tiny grains and patina-thin patches of native gold scattered about!!! Perhaps this specimen would more accurately be described as "Gold rich Arsenopyrite"!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains an old label and catalogue number as well!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
