Okay, remember: a vote for is a vote for chaos! We like the spiky danger minerals! (No, really. Almost every mineral that forms spikily like this is one you want to double and maybe triple check for , or being otherwise bad to inhale or touch for too long. Even - you're supposed to wash your hands after handling it!)

Chaos, but safely!

For my first recommendation to vote and for my favorite of all crystals, this is stibnite. It is a great specimen offered by a dealer in the TEP venue of the Tucson Rock and Gem Show this year. The entire piece is about 2 1/2" x 2". The blade formations stacked upon each other make for a natural composition in this macro view. The crystal is so dark, the "steel blue" shows as black and gray with flashes of blue as light hits it. My photos 2008.

gave its name to stibium, which is an old name for antimony (which is why its Sb on the periodic table). It is a grey, shiny material, which is also called Antimonglanz in Germany (Glanz means shine).

So I had to go remind myself what is because frankly I'm more used to seeing "antimony" still, but...

as much as is fun and pretty... listen, it's not chaos. Stibnite is basically chaos in most of its historical uses, iirc!

Also it often co-occurs with things like , , , and ... now that's some fun chaos company. Vote Stibnite for chaos!!
