Item Description

Scintillating, exceptionally gemmy and lustrous, reddish-orange, vanadinite barrels to 5 mm are richly and pleasingly scattered on the sculptural matrix of parallel-growth, oxide-coated, barite blades on this showy and excellent Mibladen vanadinite combination specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago. The vannies are in super shape, and a bit of periphery wear to the barite is certainly not a detraction. The gemminess of these striking vanadinites is definitely upper echelon for the well-known locale. Ex Zukowski Collection.
