Description

Pale yellow, translucent aggregates of sharp tabular crystals with small, but very nice stibnite clusters.
I found the piece in the spring of 2014.
I am considering it as one of the most beautiful micro of Baia Sprie.
The stibnites are very interesting; they often make inclusion in water clear quartz.
