Description:Beautifully gemmy, highly lustrous, blocky, brick-red, hexagonal, vanadinite prisms to 1.7 cm are very aesthetically clustered on one end of the large, sculptural mounded matrix from the major early 1990s finds. ALL of the crystals have striking flashes of gemmy, yellow-orange fire and most have frosted or a sparkly/drusy coating on the C-axis faces, which has no impact on the fine display quality. Overall, this large piece is in very good shape, for the crystal density: one of the large barrels has a partially bruised back edge; and the large crystal on the upper left has trivial edge wear. Classic, excellent and large Mibladen vanadinite, that displays very well without aid. valued $1500
