Description

A microcrystalline quartz matrix richly covered by orange-red crystals of vanadinite showing the classical hexagonal form with net hemimorphic habitus. Floater piece, it displays perfectly around 360°, so we can appreciate the three-dimensional beauty of the specimen. No damages. Much better on hand!.

Self-collected in September 2009. Ex Iván Blanco collection.
