Description

Exceptionally rich cluster of thick stibnite crystals. Most crystals are perfectly terminated, with great metallic lustre, and some even show a partial iridescent patina, typical for the area. A couple crystals display the classic curved habitus too. These specimens are famous for their elegance and because they had to be etched out of spatic calcite.
A great miniature, it comes from the Rui collection (Italy). Possibly dated back to the end of the 80s, it is a true Italian classic, now quite sought-after due to the scarcity of the good material.
