Stibnite with Quartz

[mymineralbox]

Bladed stibnite crystal spray on quartz matrix — Jiangxi, China. Stibnite (Sb2S3, antimony sulfide) is the most important ore of antimony, and China currently produces the overwhelming majority of the world's supply. The Wuning and Xikuangshan districts in Jiangxi and Hunan are the classic collector localities — they've produced the finest stibnite specimens on Earth, with crystals sometimes reaching half a meter in length. What's unique about stibnite is its low melting point (just 550 C) — low enough that ancient Egyptians actually used powdered stibnite as "kohl" eyeliner, and historians suspect some early metallurgists accidentally produced antimony metal by smelting the ore in campfires. Two collector notes: those gorgeous prismatic crystals are softer than many people expect (Mohs 2) and deform easily, and stibnite slowly tarnishes from bright silver-metallic to a duller blue-grey over years of air exposure.

💎 The large stibnite crystals are made up of tiny building blocks called unit cells, in which atoms and sulfur combine in a regular arrangement. Unit cells repeat in a 3D pattern to form a crystal.

🎊 Happy New Year to all—we hope to see you at the Museum in 2024!

yeah great job MSI I bet you're so proud of your chip obfuscation technique that I had to break out a pointy stick to defeat. Waste of my goddamn time.

Bad UEFI seems to have killed my old laptop, this flash chip clip is dog shit so it took me like fifty tries to get a clean read. Hopefully it writes fine, fortunately MSI just publishes the raw flash images at least, so I don't have to dig around in some fucked up exe.

I'm doing a drawing challenge thingy and the recent prompt was stibnite, which is a type of crystal that really reminded me of the Razor. so here is the Razor, both stibnite version and regular version.
