Item Description
Found at Taouz Caïdat in the 1970s, these elegant combination-pieces are both simple and dramatic at the same time. Orange-red with lustrous faces and matte terminations, the sharp, hexagonal, tabular crystals are classic Vanadinite. Growing on spires of black Goethite, these Vanadinite crystals, up to 4 mm across, contribute to a contrast in form and color that is stark and tantalizing. With the Vanadinites interspersed on both sides, you could enjoy this 360-degree miniature from several directions. With such iconic aesthetics, these are always in demand if and when they become available.
