Item Description

Highly lustrous, striking brick-red, vanadinite prisms are aesthetically festooned on the mounded matrix on this fine specimen from Mibladen. The sharp, hexagonal crystals are partially gemmy and reach 1.1 cm. Classic, desirable material from the late 1970s-1980s finds at this famous locale. Nearly pristine, except for very trivial periphery wear on one side and a tiny bruise to the large prism.
