Stibnite

Cabinet, 13.0 x 4.0 x 2.0 cm
SOLD
A fine cabinet stibnite spray from recent finds at the Wuning Mine of China. The stibnite blades have splendent, metallic-gray luster, are beautifully and sharply striated, and both of the two, large crystals have nice, tapered terminations. A highlight of this excellent specimen is the strangely curved, second largest blade. Tectonic forces during crystal growth sometimes cause stibnite crystals to bend.
