Description

Vanadinite crystals from Iranian localities are extremely rare to find. The only illustrated records of vanadinite crystals on mindat come from Chah Khuni mine and Chah Milleh mine. This cluster presents several interconnected, tabular hexagonal crystals of vanadinite(probably var. arsenian vanadinite). Some crystals are slightly damaged, but is for sure a minor detraction considering the rarity of this piece.
