Item Description

Sparkly, translucent, sharp, honey-yellow to yellow-orange, textbook hexagonal vanadinite barrels to about 4 mm cover the front and cascade over onto the back of this showy and excellent specimen from the Puzzler Mine of Arizona. An attractive and rich wedge-shaped specimen from this relatively obscure Arizona locale. I really like the way the large crystals are concentracted along the crest of the piece. Ex Harold Urish Collection and self-collected in March, 1999 in the 180 foot level.
