Stibnite (RARE matrix specimen) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

Before China, these were some of the best Stibnites to hit the market in a long time. This specimen hosts dozens of highly lustrous, sharp, silvery sword shaped crystals of Stibnite forming a very eye-catching crystal spray aesthetically sitting atop matrix. It is INCREDIBLY difficult to find specimens on matrix from this locality! Yes, there is a little damage that I can see the naked eye, but it's so showy and the fact that it's on matrix makes up for the damage. A great classic Boilvian Stibnite specimen. This specimen came out around 35 years ago (early 1980s) when there was a large find of some superb Stibnites from this mine. Ex Brian Kosnar collection, valued at $800.
