Item Description

Moroccan Vanadinites simply are the finest examples of the species extant. The best pieces still command a premium on the market, even though specimens are still being found to this day.

A very good quality Vanadinite and eye-catching specimen from this most famous of localities. Valued at $700 in the inventory. If you collect secondary ore minerals, don't miss out on this beautifully crystallized example of this fairly hard to find species.
