A stibnite druse with crystals of a rare size for this mineral: the longest exceeds 13 centimetres. Rays of grey metallic prisms fan out from the base, defining the overall line of growth of the entire group.
The base is composed of numerous small fluorite crystals. Their pale faces contrast with the dark lustre of the stibnite and emphasise the scale of the principal stems.
