Description

A really phenomenal new find of stibnite from roadworks at a German federal autobahn (freeway), passing the Caspari mine. Large crystals up to 8.5 cm on matrix. The matrix itself consists of 90 % of massive stibnite (see pictures of the edges and back). I haven't seen something like this before. Only a few pieces came on the market in Sainte-Marie. A little stibiconite on the crystals on the right edge.

Weights more than 1.7 kg! This is the last of five big specimen.

Overseas (Australia, Asia etc.) please enquire for exact shipping costs (a little more than $ 42.00).
