Item Description

A dramatic, curved, LARGE CABINET stibnite blade from a New Find at the famous Wuling Mine of China. The splendent, beautifully striated, stainless steel-gray crystal is strikingly curved from three episodes of breaking, healing and regrowth during crystal formation in the pocket. The sharp termination is essentially pristine, as the backside is contacted, but has no damage, per se. Complete all-around, the sidecar crystals are a fine accent. The contacting, mostly concentrated near the base on one side and the bruising to the largest sidecar crystal are noted, but are modest detractions. This is a stunning, curved, highly representative, large stibnite crystal from this new find. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
