Item Description

From the find that produced the largest crystals of Stibnite seen in the modern era of mineral collecting! This cabinet size piece is a very good sized, bright, intense metallic silver color, prismatic crystal of Stibnite free of matrix. You just don't see crystals of this size anymore on the market as it seems that Wuling is not producing them at at this time. Years ago, crystals of this thickness and heft were impossible to obtain, and now that they have disappeared from the market, this is a great chance to get your hands on some of the finest examples of the species extant. It's not 100% damage free as there are a few nicks, and a contact at the base, but you can't deny that it's a remarkable 4-inch+ crystal that is rarely seen in this quality for the given thickness and length. Valued at $700.
