Item Description

These pseudomorphs are a Mexican classic. The material is instantly recognizable, with the gentle yellow color Stibiconite that has replaced the original Stibnite crystals, retaining the prismatic "sword"-shaped form. The pseduo is so well-detailed that you can actually see the striation lines of the original Stibnite crystals. This is certainly one of the better, large sized groups of crystals of the material that we've had to offer and I can only tee trivial damage, as it's in great shape overall. Value at $1250. From the collection of Senator / Dr. Miguel Romero of Teuhuacan, Mexico (Collection #6276).
