raw Antimony stone Description of the raw Antimony stone - size L in lithotherapy Antimony has a rather distinctive appearance. Indeed, when looking at it, one gets the impression of seeing blocks of metal. This is certainly explained by its color, which ranges from anthracite gray to black, and especially by its sheen.
