Item Description
The finest US stibnites are generally considered to be from the famous Manhattan District of Nevada. Specimens are 40-75 years old or even older. This is a very elegant cluster of two opposing sprays of lustrous metallic terminated prisms. The striking long horizontal crystal at the top is 3.5 cm. The piece looks great from either side. The few broken crystals on the basal periphery have no impact on the very high quality of this exceptional old-timer.
