Item Description

A huge, impactful, Sparkling plate of gorgeous coke-can red vanadinite, just staring you in the face when stood up in a case: The display side of this specimen is highlighted by glassy and translucent, reddish brown crystals of vanadinite, to 1 cm across. Some of the crystals appear to exhibit hopper growth. Specimens of this size, without damage, are still desirable even though literally tons of the material were found in several large pockets in the past. This one is particularly balanced and is sparkly and lustrous throughout, without the often dull or brown patches. Valued $7500
