..some more images about stibnite and minerals after that (stibiconite? valentinite?) not defined in full set accurately. Any idea after visual examination?

It looks like Stibiconite Alex, but you can't discard anything until analyzed.

Just to give an example, the well known "Stibiconites" from China, in fact are Stibnites covered by small crystals of Sulfur...

Thank you, Jordi, for information. I have read the mindat reference. Visually very close to my specimens but my specimens shows different lustre (from adamantine to dull). Also they have different hardness varied from 2.5 to 5-5.5 even on the same specimen. Alex
