Item Description
A classic, desirable and showy CABINET vanadinite and barite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago at Mibladen, Morocco. EXTREMELY gemmy and lustrous, tabular, hexagonal, reddish-orange vanadinite prisms to 8 mm are richly and aesthetically scattered on the contrasting, lightly oxide-coated white barite blades. The sculptural quality of the barite matrix really adds to the overall appearance. Combo pieces of this quality are amongst the most desirable Moroccan vanadinite varietals. This is a really good one, with exceptionally gemmy vannies.
