Vanadinite (Kevin Brown Coll.)

Item Description

Highly lustrous, partially gemmy, blocky, hexagonal, brick-red, vanadinite prisms to 1.9 cm form a very showy specimen from the mid-1980s finds at Mibladen, Morocco. The orange-red gemmy fire on some of the crystals really pops! The vannies on the back have a preferential coating of brown material. A bit of bruising is noted, but is only a very modest detraction. Highly representative of the species. This piece is a near floater, with only a small attachment point on the bottom. Ex Kevin Brown Collection.
