About the Item

An extraordinary stibnite specimen from China, with a tall, elongated crystal formation that evokes the shape of a silver sword. Its sleek, metallic lustre and refined symmetry give the piece a sculptural, almost hand-crafted presence. The silvery surface reflects light with a striking brilliance, revealing subtle iridescent tones across the sharp, linear structure. Both powerful and elegant, this exceptional specimen captures the perfect balance between natural geometry and artistic form.
