Stibnite Blade Cluster
Stibnite Blade Cluster
Description
This large stibnite statement piece features densely layered, elongated bladed crystals arranged in a dramatic vertical formation. The overlapping metallic blades create depth and movement, with a striking silver-black lustre that catches light from every angle. Its height and mass give it a strong sculptural presence, reading almost architectural when displayed on its stand.
Sourced from the Xikuangshan Antimony Deposit in Hunan Province, China, the world’s most significant stibnite locality, pieces of this size and density are increasingly uncommon. Xikuangshan specimens are prized for their bold crystal habit, sharp definition, and exceptional metallic finish, making larger examples particularly desirable among serious collectors.
Stibnite is often associated with focus, grounding, and protection, valued as a stone of transformation, rebirth and power.
NOTE: Always wash your hands after handling Stibnite. Keep Stibnite in a dark or low sunlight environment.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
