CHINESE STIBNITE: Xikuangshan, Lushi, Wuning and Other Localities

摘要

Among the most dramatic of all Chinese mineral specimens are the extraordinary stibnite crystals and crystal clusters from the Xikuangshan, Lushi and Wuning mines which reached the market in the 1990's and early 2000's. These three (among many) Chinese antimony deposits are the leading localities for antimony minerals from China. In 2002 a thus-far unidentified Chinese locality joined the list by providing the world's finest specimens of the antimony oxy-sulfide kermesite.
