Item Description

An IMPRESSIVE, GIANT stibnite "sword" from China! This is certainly the longest stibnite, that we have offered at auction. The LARGE CABINET crystal has splendent, metallic-gray luster, is beautifully and sharply striated, and has a nice, tapered termination. For such a large crystal, the scattered, minor edgewear has very minimal impact on the overall visual aspect of this monster crystal. From recent finds at the famous Wuling Mine of China. VERY HIGHLY representative for the species, locality and large size.
