Description

An exquisite cluster that have by all acknowledgements produced the finest Stibnites in the world since the ancient Japanese finds, now long gone. These brilliantly metallic crystals are so sharp and lustrous, they look machined. This particular specimen is one of the more robust clusters, with broad, fat crystals to 1 inch wide, in an elegant spray. It has the most trivial damage possible for such a large and exposed piece, and none of any significance. We included the picture with the hand for perspective to get an idea on the size of this specimen.
