Item Description

This piece was from a discovery in the early 1980s when some very impressive Stibnites were found at the La Salvadora Mine. These specimens made a big splash on the market, and because they preceeded the big discovery in China about 15 years ago, they were some of the best Stibnites to hit the market in a long time. This piece features a handful of prismatic, highly lustrous, sharp, silvery sword shaped Stibnite crystals which have formed in an attractive "spray". These old beauties from Bolivia are seldom seen on the market.
