About this specimen

Sprays of stibnite fan out across a charcoal matrix like struck matches, each blade flattened, deeply striated along its length and finished in bright blue-steel mirror. The largest fan opens across the upper third of the piece; smaller rosettes repeat the gesture at the left edge and again at lower right, so the eye keeps finding fresh bursts as it travels over the surface.

Antimony sulphide, Sb2S3 — Hunan is the province collectors think of first for the species, and blade groups like this one are the reason. Stibnite is Mohs 2, softer than a fingernail: the laths bend and snap with very little provocation, and the mirror surface dulls where skin oils touch it. Hold the matrix, never the crystals, and keep it out of direct sun, which will grey the lustre over time.

7.1 × 5.8 × 4.6 cm and 145 g, with a flat underside that lets it stand unaided; no stand or cradle is included. What the camera recorded is what leaves the shelf.
