Item Description
At first glance, one could mistake this for Pyromorphite, but these are confirmed Vanadinites not from Mibladen, but rather Touissit. The display surface is pleasingly covered with crystals that range up to 1.3 cm. The color is a tannish-grey and the luster is surprisingly fine. Some of the crystals show slight hoppered terminations, and some of the prism faces have stepped rectangular channels.
