Dramatic spray of textbook elongated stibnite crystals, well-terminated and with the classic growth striations. On one side of the crystal faces, a relatively thick partial coating of cream white calcite.

Stibnite is very lustrous and practically damage-free. This is a great specimen, which would look amazing in a showcase when glued on an acrylic plinth. Rare material to find nowadays.
