Unnamed quarry, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand
This specimen features stibnite crystals which later became coated by colorless, lustrous fluorite.

There was one dealer with one table of them at one of the small hotel shows in Tucson of that year, ...

This specimen came out in a one-time find which was brought to Tucson in (if I recall correctly) in 1988 or 1989. It is a sparkling, showy piece composed of a thick coating of translucent lavender fluorite which has coated the stibnite beneath. Amongst all such specimens I have seen, it really is one of the better examples for size and overall ...

Mass of purplish-grey fluorite coating stibnite needles to nearly 10 cm in length. Unfortunately, virtually all of the crystals are broken or tipped, but this is still a showy, impressively large example from a one-off find. This specimen did not come with a label but has been attributed to the Chiang Mai locality on the basis of the ...
