This is a remarkable cluster of stibnite crystals from the famous Wuling Mine, China. The crystals have great metallic luster, fine striations, and are in overall good shape. The matrix is coated in an aggregation of druzy quartz, from which the stibnite formed. There is also a small unidentified cubic crystal that formed from the quartz. 

Stibnite is a lead-gray mineral made up of antimony sulfide and is the main ore of antimony. It often forms groups of long, shiny metallic crystals radiating out at different angles.
