Vanadinite (fine crystals) on Baryte

Item Description

Vanadinite is at its best when it's from Mibladen. I think of Vanadinite as one of those minerals that is predominantly best-known from a single world locality. As a matter of fact, were it not for the pieces from Mibladen, Vanadinite would be fairly under-represented on the world stage, especially in terms of fine quality display specimens. The phenomenal Vanadinite specimens from this area have been the pinnacle for the species for decades. This gorgeous XXXXXXXX sized specimen features fine quality, beautiful red color, very sharp, highly lustrous, hexagonal crystals, aesthetically sitting on white Baryte matrix for a wonderful contrast. The largest Vanadinite measures 7 mm. Looking closely I can't find any major damage of note. I have to stress with HIGHLY REFLECTIVE luster of the crystals, which doesn't come through in the video/photo as it does in person. A great quality Vanadinite specimen from this world-famous locale.
