Item Description

A striking, large, splendent, beautifully striated, stainless steel-gray stibnite crystal from the recent 2009 find at the famous Wuling Mine of China. The sharp termination is pristine. Complete all-around, this stout, showy blade is very nearly pristine, with only three trivial spots of edge wear and the very modest contacting at the base. For the size, this crystal has the least amount of damage, for any we have offered at auction. Excellent quality large material from this noted locale.
