Description

I obtained this superb stibiconite psm. stibnite back in 2000 when my Mexican collection was in its infancy. I didn't realize then how good it was but over the 18 yrs since I haven't seen a more aesthetic specimen offered for sale. It came as part of an exchange with a respected US collector. One blade has a natural split in it but the remainder are in great condition. Displays well from a number of angles and sits well on its own.

Parting with it with a heavy heart but a change in collection focus means it must go.
