Antimonite - Xikuangshan Sb Deposit, Lengshuijiang Co., Loudi Pref., Hunan Province, China
Fund 1996, ex Friedrich collection
 
5.8 cm high antimony stage in best quality. The earlier antimonite find from Xikuangshan differs from the later finds by Wuning (2004) by a darker luster and by the combination with calcite.
The piece has an aesthetic  graphic structure which ends with clearly crystallized end faces. 
Since the locality is no longer accessible, there are only very few pieces left from this region. A highly aesthetic collector's item.
