Description

This is the only specimen I know of Vanadinite on Gypsum. The contrast of a very red Vanadinite over a very white Gypsum is excellent. This specimen was extracted in 2003. The quality is top with very fresh appearance. There is predominance of the pinacoid in tabular crystals. This specimen is excellent.
