In Rock Chapel Mountain.

Gray stibnite crystals associated with black tourmaline are reported from a pegmatite exposed at the operations of Consolidated Quarries. One curved prism is described as being 1.5 inches (3.8 em) long by 0.5 inch (1.3 em) across. In addition to crystals, the stibnite forms thin steel gray coatings on fractures and cleavages in feldspar crystals.
