Item Description
Diverging, acicular, crystals of lustrous, metallic gray stibnite emanate from a central core.VERY DRAMATIC! Crystals reach 4 cm in length and are mostly complete, despite the apparent fragility here... even the few broken crystals are disguised by the overall 3-dimensionality and longer crystals of the specimen. A superb exmaple of oldtime Romanian material, probably an older piece prior to 1980s. Valued $750-1000.
