A fine small display specimen of radiating, gun-metal grey, prismatic Stibnite crystals from the classic European occurrence at Herja mine, Baia Mare, Romania. The Stibnite crystals, which reach up to 5 cm in length, are quite wide compared to many from this locality. This makes them much more robust and also makes the crystal faces on the terminations much more interesting. Small, white, tabular Baryte crystals are intergrown with Stibnite at one end of the base. This really is a very lovely example of Stibnite from Romania.
