Vanadinite

Item Description

Mibladen is famous for its Vanadinites, and this miniature well-represents the species for this great locality. The hexagonal crystals have superb luster, which greatly enhances the brownish-red color. Tiny red flashes indicate some amount of gemminess within the translucent crystals, and the largest crystal is about 1.6 cm across. As expected, there is a small amount of edgewear, but the nicks are so tiny that they have no real effect on the excellent aesthetics. This is a fine cluster, on a small amount of matrix, that displays quite well. valued $500
