Stibnite

Item Description

This old-time specimen is uniquely different from most Romanian stibnites because the crystals exhibit much broader and more stout, spear-shaped form, the classic style you see in old books but so seldom in specimens from the location taken out in the later half of the 1900s. Crystals reach 4 cm in length and nearly all are pristine, with these perfect, textbook terminations. Also, there are little pods of sparkly, brassy, marcasite microcrystals scattered about as a nice accent. All of the major blades are pristine, and the bit of periphery wear is only a modest detraction. An excellent specimen of this classic old material, and very hard to get today.
