Vanadinite (2008 find)

Item Description

A very fine and sculptural miniature from the 2008 finds at the ACF Mine. The densely intergrown, tabular hexagonal crystals, to 1.3 cm, have rich orange-red color and scintillate under light. The gemmy/translucent crystals glow with yellow-orange fire under bright light. The backside of the crystals are included with iron oxides, typical for the find. This aesthetic 360-degree cutie is in great shape, with only a bit of modest periphery wear, which is not noticeable in the preferred display views. A classic, high quality vanadinite from the find. Valued at $500.
