Item Description

An unusual locality specimen of vanadinite, featuring doubly terminated, brownish-orange, barrel shaped vanadinite crystals that grew on top of an earlier generation of vanadinite crystals. An attractive and rich wedge-shaped specimen from this relatively obscure Arizona locale. This is one of those vanadnites that really show the solid solution with pyromorphite as the lustrous crystals are more orange than red, like we've come to expect from vanadinites from elsewhere in the world. From the collection of Alex Venzke.
