Vanadinite

Item Description

A riveting, very aesthetic, two-sided vanadinite miniature from Mibladen. The two, upright, major crystals really stand out and all of the partially gemmy, tabular, bright brick-red, vannies have flashes of yellow-orange. The large crystal is 1.3 cm. Excellent quality all the way around and the composition is outstanding. The bit of oxide coating on one side is a very minimal detraction. These specimens deserve more attention for being some of the most impressive representations of the species extant. From the major early 1990s finds. Valued at $300-400, for aesthetics and excellent quality of the crystals.
