Description:This impressive, sculptural specimen is artfully festooned on ALL sides with highly lustrous, partially gemmy, brick-red, vanadinite crystals. The classic, tabular, blocky, hexagonal crystals reach 1.9 cm on this striking piece. Large crystals are scattered everywhere. The vannies on the back have a preferential coating of a brown material, but the pretty red color shows on both sides of the crystals. This dramatic specimen is from the recent new find near Mibladen. We have included extra photos, so that you can get an appreciation of the intense crystal coverage and quality.
