Item Description
An exceptionally sculptural and uncommon combination from this well-known antimony mine. That's brick-red metastibnite coating the stibnite blades, not kermesite, on the fabulous vuggy/vesicular drusy quartz matrix. The 2.3 cm vug in the front with the dramatic coated blades is just spectacular! More metastibnite and broken stibnite blades are noted on the side. A fantastic and rare combination display specimen, from several directions, from this locale and the Bob Trimingham Collection. Probably older material, but no proof.
