Item Description
A showy, excellent and unusual tabular Mibladen miniature vanadinite specimen from the finds in the early 2000s. The front of this multi-sided cutie looks like a cogwheel cluster of intergrown, highly lustrous, brick-red, hexgonal, blocky, vanadinite prisms. The crystals have a striking melted-look on the backside. The tabular crystals have scattered flashes of yellow-orange fire, when viewed on end. Every rotation gives a totally different perspective to this fine piece. The skeletal features on the front and interesting sides really add pizzazz. Complete all-around and pristine, except for the small attachment point at the base. The large edge crystal is 1.9 cm across. Striking.
