Description: Stibnite
Hunan Province, China
205.0 x 125.0 x 121.0 mm
Multiple thick lustrous black crystals of Stibnite to 125 x 17 x 9 mm with a slight bluish cast make up this exceptional 3-dimensional
specimen. Small secondary needles of Stibnite are perched on some of the larger Stibnite crystals. In excellent condition.
Based on the age of the specimen, I suspect this is actually from Wuling Mine, Qingjiang, Wuning Co., Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, China and was labeled Hunan because it was sold in Changsha.
