Stibnite
Wuning Mine, Qingjiang, Wuning Co., Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China
35.6 x 3.18 x 1.59 cm (14 x 1¼ x ⅝ in), affixed to custom acrylic base.
A commanding single crystal of lustrous stibnite from the finds at Wuning Mine in 2000-2001, the same locality that has produced some of the largest stibnite specimens in the modern era of mineral collecting. This fabulously long crystal exhibits excellent metallic luster with striations along its entire length and a dramatic termination.
