About this specimen

One column stands clear of the group and reflects like polished steel, its faces bright enough to throw the room back at you. The mass beneath stays much darker, a bundle of parallel stibnite fibres running vertically and dusted here and there with pale cream druse that has crept up from the base.

Hunan is the classic source of fine stibnite crystals, and antimony sulfide, Sb2S3, is among the softest minerals a collector will own: Mohs 2, soft enough for a fingernail to leave a mark. Those bright faces are perfect cleavage planes, which is exactly why they mirror so well and why they bruise so easily. Hold it by the base, keep it out of direct sun, and the lustre will survive decades on a shelf.

The piece measures 5.6 × 4.8 × 3.3 cm and weighs 86 g, held with putty on the clear acrylic cube shown. Every frame here was taken of this individual specimen, never a stand-in.
