Description

Crystals up to 19 mm across and 8 mm thick. All crystals are sharp terminated and show highest possible luster. Dimension of crystals is remarkable, no faces are dull - not even one with satiny luster! Most remarkable is the assemble. There is an exposed, nearly tree-like assemble in the center of the specimen. So far one of the very best assembles of Vanadinite I saw. Very attractive in each position, superb aesthetics. Undamged, eye-catching and even better in person.
