Item Description

An adorable, very aesthetic vanadinite combination specimen consisting of isolated,` scintillating, sharp, well-formed red-orange color tabular, hexagonal crystals, dramatically scattered on the sculptural matrix of classic, contrasting white bladed barite crystals. The crystals reach 1.1 cm and these crystals are very gemmy, with brilliant flashes of yellow-orange. Excellent quality all the way around and the composition is outstanding. Very nearly pristine, with only one vannie having miniscule edge bruising. 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 $750-1000, for aesthetics and excellent gemmy quality of the crystals. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
