    IT WAS COLLECTED IN 1983.  IT IS A VERY RICH ORE SPECIMEN.  VERY HARD TO OBTAIN TODAY.  THE STIBNITE IS VERY FINE GRAINED, WHICH IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SUTHERLAND ORE.  STIBCONITE IS AN OXIDATION PRODUCT OF THE STIBNITE AND RESULTS IN THE YELLOW-BROWN COLOR.  THE STIBNITE IS BRIGHT AND SHINY.  THE MINE IS OWNED BY
