Item Description

An aesthetic large opposing cluster of brilliant, striated, silver-metallic, stibnite blades from this now-famous Chinese mine. The beautiful, sharply terminated and pristine crystal is 6.0 cm long. Contacting and bruising is noted on both sides, but this remains a showy and highly representative example of the species and locale. Fairly common over 10 years ago, you don't see many around anymore. A Chinese classic.
