Item Description

Intergrown blocky, hexagonal vanadinite prisms form a very sculptural and aesthetic 360-degree miniature from the famous finds at Mibladen. The impressive variably sized crystals have lustrous, brick-red color with subtle hints of orange-red translucence. The very architectural form of the prisms, dominating by the large crystal at the top, are highlighted by the typical preferential oxide coatings on the crystals edges. This is a classic and very fine 360-degree example of this desirable form.
