Item Description

This specimen came out about 40 years ago when there was a large find of some superb Stibnites from this mine. Before China, these were some of the best Stibnites to hit the market in a long time. This specimen comprises highly lustrous, sharp, silvery sword shaped crystals of Stibnite creating an attractive group. A great classic Boilvian Stibnite specimen, rarely seen on the market now. The best of these pieces were imported by Richard Kosnar in the late 1970s, and this is a great one compared to most we've had to offer. From Rich Kosnar's personal collection and valued at $1,800 in the inventory.
