	Stibnite - LoveToKnow 1911
		STIBNITE, a mineral consisting of antimony sulphide, Sb2S3, occurring as bladed or acicular orthorhombic crystals; an important ore of antimony.
		It was mentioned by Dioscorides and Pliny under the names stimmi, stibi and platyophthalmon (arXarvbc¢BaXuov) ; the last name refers to the use which the ancients made of the powdered mineral for darkening the eyebrows to increase the apparent size of the eyes.
		Stibnite occurs with quartz in beds and veins in gneisses and schists, or with blende, galena, andc., in metalliferous veins.

	STIBNITE (Antimony Sulfide)
		Stibnite is a classic mineral species with fine crystal clusters and long curved crystals being the pride of many collectors.
		The curving of the long bladed crystals is due to twinning where one twin plane bends the crystal one direction and another twin plane bends it in the other direction.
		Stibnite's crystal clusters are admired for their distinctive look with dozens of accicular or bladed crystals jutting out in many divergent directions.
