Item Description
Splendent, beautifully striated, stainless steel-gray stibnite blades form a showy and excellent CABINET cluster from a New 2009 find at the famous Wuling Mine of China. The naturally bent smaller crystal is a super accent. The sharp termination on the striking large blade is pristine, as are most of the smaller terminations. Complete all-around, trivial edgewear and minor contacting near the base are noted. A very fine large example of the species and noted locale. The quality is excellent. This would have been a $750-1000 specimen, when they first came to market in 2001.
