Item Description

A classic, desirable and showy vanadinite and barite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago at Mibladen, Morocco. Gemmy and lustrous, tabular, hexagonal, reddish-orange vanadinite prisms to 7 mm are richly and aesthetically sprinkled on the contrasting, stark white barite blades. I particulary like the way the largest vannies are perched along the crest of the barite blades. Combo pieces of this quality are amongst the most desirable Moroccan vanadinite varietals.
