Vanadinite (Charlie Freed Coll.)

Item Description

An exceptionally rich and aesthetic vanadinite specimen from the J.C. Holmes Mine of Arizona. Highly lustrous, translucent, orange-brown vanadinite prisms to 1.3 cm cover all sides of this striking, sculptural piece. There are very few broken crystals, for such rich coverage. Nearly a floater, there is only one small point of attachment. Old-time material from the Charlie Freed Collection and self-collected in the mid 1960s. Valued at $400 for richness, crystal quality and aesthetics.
