Item Description

This is a lovely full sized thumbnail specimen. An aesthetic, well balanced group of red hexagonal tabular crystals of Vanadinite measuring up to 1.2 cm. It's actually good quality with very little damage. These specimens are common on the market, but they remain as the standard of quality for the species, and should not be discarded due to their abundance. From the collection of Senator / Dr. Miguel Romero of Teuhuacan, Mexico (the collection number ends with "691" but the first digit has been removed). For more information on this important collection, use the link to this free online copy of our 2008 book on his collection: http://www.irocks.com/e-book-romero/
