Item Description

The Vanadinite specimens from Mibladen are the pinnacle for the species. Of all the crystallized Vanadinite in the world, we haven't seen anything better for the last 50 years from anywhere else in the world. It's important to note that were it not for these specimens, Vanadinite would not be terribly well represented in the mineral world in terms of crystallized display pieces. This cabinet sized specimen features good quality, orange to red color, sharp, lustrous, hexagonal crystals of Vanadinite measuring up to 3 mm across on underlying matrix. Looking closely I can see a tiny bit of damage to the crystals, but overall it's in very good shape. A good quality representative Vanadinite specimen from this world-famous locale.
