Description
The distinctive Calcite/Stibnite combinations from the Xikuangshan deposit are renowned for the flattened habits of their Calcites along with the sheer beauty of, and association with, Stibnites. The soft-golden crystals of Calcite are gemmy and have excellent luster. The intergrown Calcite and Stibnites then rest, at least as a jackstraw, on a plate of matrix. Probably dating back at least 20 years, this highly aesthetic piece certainly adds to China´s fine legacy of quality Calcites. Minor imperfection.
