I was almost blinded while capturing the essence of this piece, no lie. Stibnite is an antimony sulfide mineral with a distinctive metallic luster. Beyond its enchanting appearance, it has historical uses in various cultures. Ancient Egyptians used stibnite as a cosmetic, creating a black powder known as kohl for eye makeup. In traditional Chinese medicine, antimony, derived from stibnite, was used for medicinal purposes. Additionally, stibnite has been used in the production of alloys, such as pewter, due to its ability to harden metals.
