Item Description

Rich cluster of 100% Stibnite crystals that are lustrous and striated. The largest of the crystals is about 2.6 cm. The Hillgrove area is famous for its bent, deformed Stibnite crystals, not unlike what you see from Japan. This is a good, highly representative piece for the locality, though it has some damage. From the collection of Dr. Bob Byers, a stibnite specialist in California.
