Scorodite on Pyrite
Henzoh Prefecture
Guangxi Province, China
3.1 x 2.6 x 2.5 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $320
Spring 2014
At first glance this looks like a mass of pyrite with a little bright blue Scorodite crystal. With closer examination it is nearly all Scorodite with a coating of pyrite. The bulk of the "matrix" is yellow, brown and blue- green Scorodite crystals up to 1.6 CM. Everything is covered with sparkling crystals of Pyrite that hide most of the underlying crystals. In undamaged condition, this is from the one time find at Henzoh about 5 years ago. There have not been more found since then. A very good value for one of these!
