Vanadinite (excellent)

Item Description

An exceptional, aesthetic and rich small cabinet vanadinite from famed Mibladen. Vibrant red color with striking flashes of yellow-orange fire highlight these super lustrous and glassy gemmy to translucent crystals. The textbook, hexagonal crystals reach 1.1 cm and I really like the way the larger crystals are set along the crest of this very sculptural piece. A significant find, as even the mine level is known. Outstanding material from 2004 finds and priced at $1500 in 2004. It is worth $2000-2500 today.
