Item Description

A striking, splendent, beautifully striated, stainless steel-gray stibnite blade aesthetically surrounded by few smaller crystals forms a showy and excellent specimen from a New Find at the famous Wuling Mine of China. The sharp termination, the large crystal itself, and sidecar crystals are very nearly pristine, with only super-trivial, barely noticeable termination wear and edgewear. Complete all-around, this fine cluster has a few broken crystals at the base, which are a modest detraction. A classic stibnite from Wuling.
