A robust and classic spray of Stibnite crystals that have almost completely pseudomorphed into Stibiconite. The specimen has an earthy luster with a nice mix of bright yellow and brown hues (which could also be attributed to traces of Valentinite or Cervanite). Most of the crystals are well-formed and have sharp terminations, which is best seen at the beautifully formed, structural terminations of the crystals. There are a few patches of un-pseudomorphed Stibnite isolated across the surface of the specimen. This piece is complete with a 360-degree display and comes with a custom acrylic base.
