A fine quality specimen of red, flattened, tabular hexagonal crystals of vanadinite, beautifully growing on a base from the famous Mibladen Mining District, Morocco. The vanadinite crystals have an intense red color to some orange nuances and a strong, glassy luster. Some areas are gemmy. The crystals are sharp and well isolated. The piece is fresh and sparkling. For references the issue of The Mineralogical Record - Vol. 44, No. 3 May - June 2013. In very good condition – some small damages.
Overwhelming!
