A cluster of Stibiconite pseudomorphs makes up this small hand specimen. At least 5 of these are either damaged or broken, but several are in excellent condition. As is characteristic of this mineral, the Stibiconite pseudomorphed after stibnite, retaining the bladed form of the first mineral. All have a dirty, pale brown color and a dull luster, though the damaged crystals show a paler brown to a nearly white coloration. The cluster seems to extend off of a base of a dull yellow, dimly transparent crystal that looks a bit like calcite.
