Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous vanadinite prisms are richly and attractively set on the sculptural, starkly contrasting, bladed white barite matrix on this excellent and highly representative combination example from the late 1980s-early 1990s finds at Mibladen. The crystals glow with gemmy flashes of yellow-orange and reach 1.0 cm. Ex Harold Urish Collection.
