Item Description

Lustrous, bright fire engine-red, vanadinite prisms to 1.2 cm are richly scattered on the sculptural matrix of bladed barite on this striking and aesthetic combination piece from recent finds at Mibladen. The tabular, hexagonal crystals are translucent and have riveting areas of gemminess under strong light. For such incredibly rich coverage, there are very few broken crystals. Classic combination material and a BEAUTIFUL example, above the norm
