Vanadinite

Item Description

A showy and excellent floater Mibladen vanadinite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago. The front of this multi-sided cutie looks like a cogwheel cluster of intergrown, mirror-bright, brick-red, hexagonal, blocky, vanadinite prisms. The crystals are reddish-brown on the backside. The blocky crystals have gorgeous flashes of gemmy yellow-orange fire, when viewed in bright light. The large crystal in the front is strongly hoppered. This is a fine, very nearly pristine floater specimen, with only trivial periphery wear. Every rotation gives a totally different perspective to this fine piece. The backlit photos highlight the rich colors and gemminess of the crystals.
