The specimen is in very good condition and shows a large, prominent crystal with 1,5 cm in diameter. As you can see the color is deep red, there are no damages at this item. Everything is in excellent conditon and the main-crystal is not as fragile as it may be. Even if vanadinite is quite common, good specimens with a fine luster and visiual impcat are still rare.
