Description

I'm sliming down my stibnite collection and this is the first offering consisting of a large quality Italian stibnite in a size very rarely offered for sale. The well terminated crystals are up to 7 cm in length and 1 cm in width. It displays well from both sides. an interesting feature is that one main terminated blade has been naturally broken by the growth of another blade across it. There is one obvious broken blate that could easilly be remove for esthetic purposes however I chose to leave it when I first obtained it from an Italian collector a number of years ago as I fely it did not detract from the overall appearance. A very pleasing stibnite. 

The specimen is not particularly fragile however it will be shipped packed in washing powder for protection as is commonly done for stibnite.
