17PE27 Orpiment on Pyrite
Quiruvilca Dist., Santiago de Chuco Prov., La Libertad Dept., Peru
7.3x 5.0x 4.0 cm
A nice specimen of bright orange orpiment on pyrite, there is some scuffing near the edges, but the piece is exactly as shown.
I have sprayed this with a UV absorber to help preserve it-- it doesn't really change the appearance of the specimen.
