Vanadinite

Item Description

A showy, excellent and rich two-sided rib from recent finds at Mibladen. The 'A' side has variably-sized, highly lustrous, brownish-orange to light brown blocky prisms. The fine large brownish-orange crystal on the edge is 1.7 cm across. The lustrous crystals on the more densely covered 'B' side are a medium brown. In excellent shape, both sides have only very few gently bruised crystals. Highly representative vanadinite from this famous locale, subject of an extensive and excellent article in the current issue of the Mineralogical Record. Good timing.
