Item Description
Obviously this locality is best known for its world class Vanadinite specimens, but the two most commonly associated species from Mibladen are Cerussite and Barite. This piece shows classic "rosettes" of thin bladed white Barite with an iron oxide coating to create a lovely golden-brown hue, which are associated with tiny sparkling, silvery-grey twinned crystals of Cerussite. No real damage, and for common material, it's actually quite showy and eye-catching up close.
