Stibnite - classic Japanese locale (Ref: AX-10-681)
Ichinokawa, Saijo , Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku Island, Japan
64mm x 31mm x 20mm
minID: 7PL-JED
A fat, gun-metal silver blue compound crystal from the very old find at Iyo. This was a gift to the collector Wallace Gould Levison of New York City in 1915. His label does not survive but the gift is recorded in his ledger. This crystal is very complex and recrystalized, it looks at quick glance like a badly broken piece but on inspection the termination is complete and most of the rough faces are in fact fully crystalized. There is only one area of da, mage and that is limited to the backside. The Patina is the perfect, classic look of a vintage Japanese Stibnite and the complex form is oddly attractive too.
