Description

Historic miniature consisting of a fan of crude, lustrous flattened stibnite crystals from the classic locality of Greiz. The yellow crusts are reported as cervantite, however I expect some stibiconite to be present as well.

Old, historic material, extremely sought-after and hard to come by nowadays.
This comes with two pre-Second World War labels written in German, one of which is handwritten.
