Description

A sculptural oldtimer small cabinet specimen of stibnite from Baia Sprie, Romania. This classic specimen features a dozen sprays of metallic stibnite crystals, intimately interconnected, very lustrous and in great conditions. Between the sprays, occasional chalcopyrite crystals appear, with the typical bronze color.

In very good conditions, it displays great. It comes from the former collection Fumagalli, and it was collected in the 70s.

 

Note: the collector had it stored in a dry environment but with cotton stubs to safely preserve the delicate crystals. This preserved the crystals in a great way, although a few minor cotton wires are still spotted, but can be easily removed.
