About this specimen
Split one of Hunan’s heavy stibnite blades open and this is what can be waiting inside: a cavity lined with fine silver needles radiating in loose star-bursts, each bright enough to look wet. The walls around them are massive stibnite, striated lengthwise and parting in broad steel-grey planes, while white barite crusts bank up across the lower half of the pocket, wedged in around and beneath the needle bases.
Stibnite is antimony sulfide, Sb2S3, and one of the softest minerals a collector will own: Mohs 2, soft enough for a fingernail to mark, with perfect cleavage running the length of every needle. Skin oils dull the metallic surfaces, so lift the piece by its grey matrix, and keep it away from strong light and damp air, both of which flatten the shine on antimony sulfides over time.
The specimen measures 7.6 × 7.4 × 5.1 cm and weighs 225 g, sitting solidly on its cleaved base without a stand. The photographs were made from this specimen, needles and all.
