Item Description
A showy and excellent Mibladen miniature vanadinite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago. The front of this multi-sided cutie looks like a corsage of intergrown, highly lustrous, brick-red, hexgonal, blocky, vanadinite prisms. The crystals are reddish-brown on the backside and one crystal has interesting skeletal features. The blocky crystals have flashes of yellow-orange fire, when viewed on end. Every rotation gives a totally different perspective and the trivial bit of periphery wear is certainly not a detraction to this fine piece. A classic Mibladen vannie.
