Item Description
A classic vanadinite thumbnail from the famous Old Yuma Mine, near Tucson. This mine has produced some of America's finest vanadinites. The highly lustrous, gemmy crystal is intensely and sculpturally hoppered and has fine yellowish-red color. Specimens of this quality came out in the 1960s and 70s. For form and color, it doesn't get any better than this from Old Yuma. Ex Jaime Bird Collection.
