Hedgehog-looking cluster of bright stibnite crystals on matrix. Now, comapred to China these are not much to look at but for a long time this were one of the best stibnite localities in the world and this is an old classic - something to be said about that vs. a big new find. Ex. Dr. Gary Hansen dealer stock and not shown since early 1980s. 10.9 x 9.1 x 3.4 cm
