Item Description

Outstanding, stout, complex vanadinite crystals on this very rich and sculptural small cabinet. The stout hexagonal prisms, to 2.2 x 1.7 cm, have a unique to this find rich brick-red color saturation. High luster, translucence and striking preferential skeletal and cogwheel forms dramatically amplify these stunning crystals. The densely intergrown geometric forms add to the beauty of the piece. Great skeletal crystals like this are a desirable characteristic for these Morocco Vanadinites as most pieces from here do not exhibit this feature (maybe 1 in 1000). This is a stunning, rich and aesthetic small cabinet vanadinite from the unique 2018 find at the famed Mibladen locality, source of the world's finest vanadinite specimens. Valued at $2000 and worth it.
