Item Description
Beautiful, isolated, highly lustrous, partially gemmy, cherry-red, vanadinite crystals to 1.2 cm are aesthetically scattered atop the sculptural matrix of bladed, snow-white barite. The partial iron oxide-coating on the blades adds color and character. Very fine and pristine combination material from the recent finds. Vanadinite crystals in this bright red color and isolation are very uncommon. Valued at $500-700 and well worth it.
