About this specimen

Discover the captivating allure of lustrous stibnite crystals from the renowned Lengshuijiang Mine in Hunan, China. This specimen showcases a cluster of acicular, metallic, silvery-gray Stibnite crystals arranged in a striking radiating formation. Stibnite, with the chemical formula Sb2S3, crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and is well-known for its distinctive elongated, needle-like crystal habit. The crystals exhibit a bright metallic luster and a Mohs hardness of approximately 2, making them relatively soft and requiring careful handling.

The Lengshuijiang Mine, one of the world’s most significant sources of stibnite, is located in the Hunan Province of China, a region celebrated for its rich mineralogical diversity. Specimens from this locality are prized for their quality and well-formed crystals. The silvery-gray to steel color of the stibnite crystals, combined with their sharp edges and radiating clusters, make this piece an excellent addition for collectors interested in geological treasures and Chinese minerals.

This specimen’s aesthetic appeal and rarity contribute to its collector value, offering a visually engaging display piece that highlights the unique mineralogy of the region. Due to stibnite’s softness and fragile, slender crystals, it is recommended to handle the specimen gently and avoid exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals to preserve its natural luster and structure.
