Description

Continuing with the thinning out of my stibnite collection as I refocus on Mexican minerals. 

This specimen is a top quality display from Baiut. It looks good from both sides with great reflectivity and perfect terminations. The tallest blade is 2.0 cm in width and very sharp (as they all are). The lower blades radiate to either side giving the whole great esthetic balance.

The base is sawn to make it stand perfectly for display. Some collectors don't like this but I have always found that when admiring this beauty my eyes are never looking down there.

Trust me I don't think you will be disappointed.
