EPP88ASN2: Calcite with inclusions and Stibnite

A well-known and famous association of Calcite and Stibnite from the Xikuangshan antimony deposit. The flattened Calcite crystals, though thicker than usual, show a tabular morphology with well-defined faces and edges. The crystals are very translucent, and the base contains inclusions, creating a notable interior nebula effect. Stibnite crystals coat and partially pierce through the Calcite crystal, presenting a prismatic habit with a metallic sheen and polycrystalline terminations. This specimen comes from the largest known antimony deposit in the world.
