This spectacular cabinet‑grade stibnite specimen comes from the world‑famous Xikuangshan Antimony Mine in Hunan, China.
The stibnite crystals grow in a stunning natural radial spray pattern, blooming like a metallic dark‑silver firework flower. Elongated prismatic crystals develop flat, lustrous metallic‑grey faces with distinct vertical striations. Crystal terminations are well‑preserved with minimal natural contact damage.
The entire stibnite flower sits firmly on a natural host matrix consisting of pale‑purple fluorite and siliceous rock, creating a sharp visual contrast between the dark metallic stibnite and soft lavender‑toned host rock.
Condition: Natural raw mineral specimen. No glue, repair or restoration. Only minor trivial natural contact marks on a few crystal tips. A custom metal display stand is included for stable presentation.
Well‑formed spray‑shaped stibnite on fluorite matrix from Xikuangshan has become increasingly hard to source, making it a premium treasure for high‑end mineral collections.
