Stibnite (M243)
I rank it among the top known specimens in private hands I ever saw, preserved from the 1800s era of mining here. The crystal is sharp terminated, it shows silver-like luster and some larger aereas with an even iridiscent colors. I had seen one or two even larger crystals - but not in this diamter, not in this quality and not with these colors. In fine condition overall and on same high quality 360°.
