This is one of those specimen which it is hard to decide which side to display. On one side, it is covered, with long, thin, dark Stibnite crystals with a high metallic luster. On the other side, the surface is covered with stubby, clear to white, Quartz crystals which in many places are a gray color due to underlying Stibnite. The Quartz crystals have a high glassy luster and are covered on one side with Siderite crystals which range in color from nearly white to a light orange. In places, there are radiating sprays of Stibnite crystals similar to those on the other sides.

Condition: Very Good

Flaws: With so many long, thin crystals, undoubtedly some of them are incomplete or missing but also not noticeable in any way.
