Stibnite on Barite

LOCATION:

Deep Post Mine, Lynn District, North of Carlin, Eureka County, Nevada, USA

DESCRIPTION:

Lustrous, silvery-black blades of Stibnite to 7 mm long forming sprays richly cover blades of glassy, tabular, palest-yellow Barite to 14 x 9 x 3 mm. Many Stibnites are doubly terminated. This is from a rare, single find from this Nevada locality. According to Casey Jones, who acquired them in 2005, only about half a dozen were produced. This is a very fine specimen, in excellent condition, with only a few small damaged areas, from this rare find.
