Item Description

A classic and striking two-sided vanadinite and barite rib from famous Mibladen. Beautifully gemmy and lustrous, orangey-red, tabular, hexagonal vanadinite prisms are richly and aesthetically peppered on both sides of the sculptural small cabinet with classic and starkly contrasting oxide-coated barite blades with some matrix of one side. The impressive large vannie is 1.3 cm. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The attachment at one end and at the base have no impact to the high quality of this very fine combination. Fairly valued at $750-1000 for excellent combination quality and aesthetics.
