Item Description

Before China, these were some of the best Stibnites to hit the market in a long time. This specimen is comprises several highly lustrous, sharp, silvery sword shaped crystals of Stibnite forming a very aesthetic crystal spray associated with lustrous white blades of Barite. Virtually no notable damage that I can see the naked eye. A great classic Boilvian Stibnite specimen. This specimen came out about 25 years ago when there was a large find of some superb Stibnites from this mine.
