A relatively rich and relatively not-so-ugly-as-usual specimen of this new species, from the type and only location known so far. The stibnites measure to about an inch. Much of this material was lost before it was described, because it was "cleaned" off, and so few large specimens remained to be had. From the type locality, from the collection of Marcus Origlieri who helped analyse the new species.
