Stibnite

This stibnite formed in hydrothermal veins, where antimony-rich fluids crystallized into elongated, metallic crystals under controlled conditions. The Xikuangshan Mine is the world’s most significant antimony deposit and is renowned for producing some of the finest stibnite specimens, often with long, lustrous, bladed crystals.

Sleek and reflective, this specimen showcases the precision of crystal growth in a highly mineralized system and represents one of the most important localities for stibnite in the world.
