Item Description

Classic, bright, very lustrous, rich orange-red color hexagonal crystals of Vanadinite on matrix from this classic locale for the material. The largest crystal measures 2 mm. The mine is right next door to the world famous Red Cloud mine, and is well known for these gorgeous Vanadinite crystals. Outside of Morocco, these have to be some of the best known red Vanadinites in the world. Good quality overall, and very little damage. From the collection of Harold Urish. More than just a reference specimen, and a must-have for any Arizona collector or a collector of secondary ore minerals.
