Item Description
A beautiful classic vanadinite combination specimen consisting of many scintillating, sharp, well-formed red-orange color tabular, hexagonal crystals, aesthetically clustered on a matrix of classic, contrasting white bladed barite. The crystals reach 9 mm and these crystals are very gemmy, with brilliant flashes of yellow-orange. Excellent quality all the way around and the composition is outstanding, with the large vannie elegantly perched at the crest. These specimens deserve more attention for being some of the most impressive representations of the species extant. From the major early 1990s finds. Valued at$500-700, for aesthetics and excellent gemmy quality of the crystals. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
