A classic in mineralogy: a superb bouquet of stibnite from the Cavnic mine in Romania (2012s)
Stibnite is an antimony sulfide (Sb₂S₃), recognizable by its elongated prismatic crystals with a silvery metallic luster. This specimen, from the Cavnic mine in Romania, perfectly illustrates this typical morphology with a cluster of well-developed acicular crystals arranged in radiating sprays.
Collected from a deposit famous for its spectacular minerals, this piece bears witness to the mineralogical richness of Cavnic, now closed and highly sought after by collectors.
*** Due to its fragility, this Stibine is not suitable for shipment by post. Handling and transporting this delicate mineral requires particular care to avoid damage. To guarantee the best buying experience, we invite you to collect your piece directly from us or from our stand at one of our forthcoming mineral shows. In all cases, it is essential to contact us beforehand to arrange the handover.
