SD09 Arsenic
Quiruvilca Mine, Quiruvilca District, La Libertad Dept., Peru
8.8x 6.5x 2.7 cm

A specimen of nearly solid, botryoidal arsenic from Quiruvilca. Unusual material of a species that is seldom seen from Peru, despite the abundance of arsenic bearing minerals from that country. It looks a lot like the classic specimens from Germany, the Czech Republic, or Malaysia.
