Item Description

This is an aesthetic thumbnail size specimen of this classic material. Sharp, lustrous, tabular reddish-orange hexagonal crystals of Vanadinite sit atop white bladed Barite matrix. The largest Vanadinite measures 5 mm. It's actually good quality and virtually undamaged. These specimens are common on the market, but they remain as the standard of quality for the species, and should not be discarded due to their abundance.
