Item Description
This is one of the classic Vanadinites that truly demonstrates the solid solution series with Pyromorphite. The greenish hexagonal crystals, which measure up to about 2 mm, have superb luster. They are sharp and attractive under the microscope as you can see from the micro photos I took. For added emphasis many of the crystals have orange terminations. Ex Harold Urish Collection, whose label on the base states that the piece was collected on Dec 29, 2012.
