Item Description

Splendent, metallic-gray, stibnite blades form an aesthetic diverging spray from this well-known antimony mine. The blades are preferentially and richly coated on the back with clusters of tiny tan dolomite rhombs, scattered very nifty, colorless, doubly terminated, pseudohexagonal calcite crystals and a few barite blades. Choice, showy combinatin stibnite from the Cynthia Payne Collection, with only a few barely noticeable broken tips off of secondary stibnite blades.
