Item Description

A beautiful classic vanadinite combination specimen consisting of scintillating, sharp, well-formed red-orange color tabular, hexagonal crystals, aesthetically scattered on a matrix of classic, contrasting white bladed barite. The crystals reach 1.0 cm and these crystals are gemmy, with brilliant flashes of yellow-orange. Fine quality all the way around and the composition is excellent, with the large vannie elegantly perched at the crest. One broken vanny and the periphery wear are noted. Still, these specimens deserve more attention for being some of the most impressive representations of the species extant. From the major early 1990s finds. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
