Description

Floater aggregate of excellent sharp tabular crystals of vanadinite of intense lustre and colour change from yellow-orange to blood-red, showing the classical hexagonal form with net hemimorphic habit. A couple of crystals at the top show nice overgrowths of transparent calcite, which is infrequent. Quite different of the vanadinites from Mibladen.

In very good condition, I collect it in 09/2009.
