Item Description

A classic, CABINET, Mibladen combination specimen from the late 1990s-early 2000s finds. Lustrous, translucent and gemmy, brick-red, flattened, vanadinite crystals to 8 mm are richly and aesthetically scattered on the beautiful, starkly contrasting bladed barite plate. A trivial bit of periphery wear and just one broken vannie are noted. Quite negligible to the overall impact of this very showy and excellent combination material from this noted locale. These specimens deserve more attention for being some of the most impressive representations of the species extant.
