Item Description

We have seen vanadinites, of course, ad nauseum - but this one is so pretty, and a bit special compare to most. It looks like red sugar draping the baryte below. Scintillating burnt-orange to brick-red vanadinite microcrystals are dramatically festooned on the striking sculptural, mounded, small cabinet plate of intergrown jackstraw clusters of baryte blades. The coated baryte blades reach 2.1 cm and all of the myriad of crystals are pristine. Ex Taylor Hunt Collection. A fine example of this rich combination varietal from the famed locale. The sparkling quality of the vanadinites is a joy to behold. It simply looks "different" than others. Old material, from the early 2000s or late 1990s.
