Antimonite - Xikuangshan Sb Deposit, Lengshuijiang Co., Loudi Pref., Hunan Province, China
Found 1996, ex Friedrich collection
 
11.5 cm high antimony specimen in best quality. The earlier antimonite find from Xikuangshan differs from the later finds from Wuning (2004) by a darker luster and the tufted shape.
The piece has an aesthetic graphical structure which ends with clearly crystallized end faces. The bending of the longest crystal at the upper end is particularly noteworthy.
Since the site is no longer accessible, there are only very few pieces left from this region. A highly aesthetic collector's item.
