Description

Floater aggregate of interlocked, less common reddish orange coloured crystals of vanadinite showing the classical hexagonal form with net hemimorphic habitus. The group is in very good condition, and the crystals get bigger to the top. The lustre is specially intense for the locality. It displays perfectly around 360°, so we can appreciate the three-dimensional beauty of the specimen.

Self-collected in September 2009. Much better on hand!.
