Vanadinite (2008 find)

Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, brick-red, hexagonal, vanadinite prisms to 1.2 cm cover this 3-dimensional plate on this showy and excellent specimen from the 2008 find near Mibladen, Morocco. Many of the vannies show flashes of gemmy yellow-orange fire on one face. Some crystals on the front have a preferential coating of brown material on their tops, while the vannnies on the back all have the brown coating. Nearly pristine. For all of the crystal density, just a bit of periphery wear is noted on the front of the piece. Highly representative of the species and find.
