Stibnite and calciteA beautiful spray of needles of the antimony sulphide mineral stibnite (seehttp://tinyurl.com/lj6hlxx) has been complemented by some lovely rhombic plates of calcite. Both these minerals are hydrothermal, precipitated from hot mineralised waters in hot springs and veins as the fluids move around within the Earth. The piece measures 5.5x4.5x3cm.LozImage credit: Quebul Fine Minerals -- source link
