This humongous stibnite specimen weighs in at almost half a ton and was rescued from a mine in China. It resides outside the Hall of Minerals at the Museum of Natural History in New York. The rest of the specimens here are from inside the H of M. While there is no way for you to gauge the scale in these photos (they may all be grand sculptures this way), I can assure you that they are all way more petite.
