Group of Valentinite crystals, one of them clearly dominant and large (for the species), very sharp, doubly terminated, and colored grey by micro-inclusions of Galena and other sulphides.
We will ship the specimen in its original Perky box from the Robert J. (Bob) Noble collection, which also contains the label.

Specimen size: 3 × 1.8 × 1.7 cm = 1.18” × 0.71” × 0.67”

EA92AJ9: Valentinite

Different from the more well-known Bolivian Valentinite, this one is in spheroidal aggregates of radial acicular crystals that are on a limonite matrix, have very well defined faces and edges, are very bright and have a uniform yellow color.
Xikuangshan Sb deposit, Lengshuijiang, Loudi Prefecture, Hunan Province China (2017)
Specimen size: 9.4 × 9.2 × 4.3 cm = 3.70” × 3.62” × 1.69”

MJ56T7: Valentinite

Group of very individualized crystals, one of them clearly dominant, with simple and sharp forms, good color and luster and on matrix. An excellent sample from the Thomas P. Moore thumbnail collection.
Colavi Mine, Machacamarca District, Cornelio Saavedra Province, Potosí Department Bolivia (±2006)
Specimen size: 2.4 × 2.2 × 1.6 cm = 0.94” × 0.87” × 0.63”

EG27Y2: Valentinite with Pyrite

Fanlike growth of flat, parallel crystals on a small matrix with Pyrite. The Valentinite crystals have a considerable size for the species and are translucent, with a silky luster on the prism faces and a more vitreous luster on the terminations. An excellent miniature of great quality. The sample comes from Alfredo Petrov, whose label will be sent to the buyer.
San José Mine, Oruro City, Cercado Province, Oruro Department Bolivia
Specimen size: 2.8 × 2.2 × 2 cm = 1.10” × 0.87” × 0.79”

Main crystal size: 2.2 × 2 cm = 0.87” × 0.79”

TTX66CD5: Valentinite with Quartz

From the largest antimony deposit known on Earth, Xikuangshan in China, we received this specimen formed of spheroidal and radiated aggregates of acicular Valentinite crystals, well isolated in their rock matrix with small Quartz coatings.
Xikuangshan Sb deposit, Lengshuijiang, Loudi Prefecture, Hunan Province China
Specimen size: 5.4 × 3.8 × 1.2 cm = 2.13” × 1.50” × 0.47”

MB37AG7: Valentinite with Quartz

Radial aggregates of acicular Valentinite crystals with very well defined faces and edges, very bright, whose color is between yellow and orange, both intense and uniform. On a limonite matrix.
Xikuangshan Sb deposit, Lengshuijiang, Loudi Prefecture, Hunan Province China (2016)
Specimen size: 9.5 × 5.9 × 3.4 cm = 3.74” × 2.32” × 1.34”

Main crystal size: 0.9 × 0.8 cm = 0.35” × 0.31”

MA89AG7: Valentinite with Quartz

Spheroidal aggregates of radial Valentinite crystals with very well defined faces and edges, very bright, with a color between yellow and orange, both intense and uniform. On a rocky matrix with Quartz coatings.
Xikuangshan Sb deposit, Lengshuijiang, Loudi Prefecture, Hunan Province China (2016)
Specimen size: 9.1 × 8.9 × 3.5 cm = 3.58” × 3.50” × 1.38”

TPM37AP6: Valentinite with Stibiconite

Centered growths of acicular Valentinite crystals, with a silky luster and white color with grey tones. On matrix with cream-colored Stibiconite. A locality from which one rarely sees specimens. Comes from the collection of Robert-Auguste Touchon and it has a handwritten label attached to the back, somewhat damaged by the passage of time.
Djebel Senza Mine, Aïn Babouche, Oum El Bouaghi Province Algeria
Specimen size: 7.4 × 5.7 × 5.6 cm = 2.91” × 2.24” × 2.20”

NR14AH5: Valentinite with Stibnite

A novelty at Expominer 2017. Fan-like aggregates of acicular and fibrous Valentinite crystals of a white color with slightly pinkish shades, a very intense silky luster and on a Stibnite matrix.
María Teresa Mine (Santa Teresa Mine), Concostura and Argatón areas, Riaño, Comarca Montaña de Riaño, León, Castile and León Spain (10/2017)
Specimen size: 7 × 4 × 2.4 cm = 2.76” × 1.57” × 0.94”

NT36AH5: Valentinite with Stibnite

A novelty at Expominer 2017. Fan-like aggregates of acicular and fibrous Valentinite crystals of a white color with slightly orangish shades, a very intense silky luster, and on a Stibnite matrix. The María Teresa Mine lies in the Riaño area, within Riaño Municipality, León Province, Castile and León. The site belongs to the southern Cantabrian Mountains and hosts hydrothermal antimony veins where primary Stibnite alters to Valentinite in near-surface oxidation zones. These supergene processes produce fibrous crystals and fan-like aggregates within fractures linked to Alpine-age structures.
María Teresa Mine (Santa Teresa Mine), Concostura and Argatón areas, Riaño, Comarca Montaña de Riaño, León, Castile and León Spain (10/2017)
Specimen size: 4.8 × 2.9 × 1.9 cm = 1.89” × 1.14” × 0.75”
