About this specimen

A firework of steel: hundreds of metallic stibnite blades erupt from this Hunan specimen in radiating sprays — some needle-fine, some broad as sword blades with the species’ characteristic lengthwise striations — all converging in fans that sweep upward off a grey botryoidal chalcedony base. At over 20 cm across and 1.36 kg this is a genuine cabinet showpiece.

Hunan set the modern standard for stibnite, and large sprays on matrix — rather than loose blade clusters — are the harder configuration to obtain, especially with terminations intact. The bubbled chalcedony understory is its own attraction, a soft grey landscape the metal grows out of.

Stibnite (Sb2S3) is soft and its blades are delicate; this piece mounts securely in the custom metal cradle and acrylic base shown and should be handled by the base alone. It measures 20.3 × 7.6 × 15.2 cm. Every photograph shows the exact specimen.
