Item Description
Moroccan Vanadinites simply are the finest examples of the species extant. The best pieces still command a premium on the market, even though specimens are still being found to this day. This piece features excellent red, sharp, rather lustrous, tabular to blocky "barrel"-shaped hexagonal crystals up to 1.0 cm on matrix. A very good quality and highly attractive small cabinet Vanadinite from this most famous of localities. From the collection of Colorado collector, John Arnaud. Virtually no damage and beautiful on all sides.
