arsenopyrites rise in parallel (mostly) from a massive
arsenopyrite matrix. Although the Ojuela Mine
remains a highly productive mineral specimen locality,
arsenopyrite specimens from here are rarely seen: of the 3659 Ojuela Mine
mineral photos on Mindat, only seven
contain arsenopyrite, and of these, arsenopyrite is
the main species in just two specimens. A desirable rarity
for such a common species!
