Gemmy Vanadinite cogwheels (Meieran Coll.)

Item Description

A striking and aesthetic Mibladen vanadinite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago. The front and back of this multi-sided cutie looks like a cogwheel cluster of intergrown, highly lustrous, brick-red to reddish-yellow, hexagonal, blocky, vanadinite prisms. Many of the crystals have dramatic hoppering. The blocky crystals have gorgeous flashes of gemmy, yellow-orange fire, when viewed on end. A nearly pristine floater, with only a small point of edge wear. Every rotation gives a totally different perspective to this fine piece. Choice material from the Gene Meieran Collection. Valued at $400.
