Item Description
An impressive, sculptural CABINET specimen of vanadinite from Mibladen, Morocco. Highly lustrous, hexagonal, brick-red prisms to 1.3 cm cover the upper half of the specimen. Very interestingly, the crystals gradationally get smaller toward the bottom and have a brownish tint. A very highly representative, large specimen of the species and famous locale, wih some style to it because of the shape and color gradient that differentiates it from the norm. Damage-free, which is exceptional for such a large piece. Valued $900
