Item Description

From the find that produced the largest crystals of Stibnite seen in the modern era of mineral collecting. This small cabinet size piece features a good sized, bright, metallic silver color, prismatic crystal of Stibnite with some secondary accenting crystals around the side. All three crystals show a unique "bent" habit, which is not terribly common in Stibnite (or any mineral for that matter), but is reported from this locality. You just don't see many of these crystals on the market as it seems that Wuling is not producing them at at this time. Don't miss out because this is one of the few we have left to offer.
