Description:   An iconic, exquisite cluster of stibnite! It is acknowledged that the Wuning Mine has produced the finest stibnite specimens in the world since the ancient Japanese Ichinokawa finds, now long gone. These stibnite crystals are splendent, beautifully striated, well terminated, and they all have a brilliant, metallic luster. This specimen is aesthetic, undamaged on the primary crystal terminations and is worthy of a special place in any cabinet. There are several small blades of tabular baryte on the stibnite as well.
