1 mm crystal of hibschite surrounded by smaller crystals, view perpendicular to one of 3-fold axis. Collected from a boulder of rodingite-type rock found by Rafał Siuda during terrain students course in Sudetes Mts in May 2008. At the quarry rodingites are found as single (quite rare) lenses among serpentinite body.
