Item Description
A wonderfully aesthetic large miniature stibnite specimen from this famous and now-closed locality. Dramatic, intergrown, diverging sprays of splendent, stibnite blades to 4.5 cm comprise this fine piece. Every turn presents a different perspective to this striking specimen. Very, very few broken blades for such dense coverage. This is one of the very finest stibnites in this size range, that I have seen from this noted locality. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. He obtained this superb piece at the very height of production in the late 1970s-early 1980s.
