Item Description

A dramatic and aesthetic miniature cluster of stout, tan, hexagonal, arsentian vanadinite prisms from Touissit. These appeared on the market in the late 1970s as pyromorphite, until X-rayed and microprobed. A very showy and fine example of the species. None have been found recently.
