A gorgeous specimen of candy-red, super-lustrous vanadinite crystals to 1 cm across, isolated in patches on a contrasting black matrix. Very showy and flashy! 9.9 x 6.7 x 3.6cm
These Moroccan vanadinites look so much like pyromorphites in crystal form that they fool a lot of collectors. This is a cluster on matrix of big, fat crystals (to 1.8 cm) of the creamy color characteristic for these. From the noted collection of Paul Jung, dispersed this year in Denver. This is old material! 4 x 3.5 x 3 cm
A very pretty thumber of lustrous, deep red (better in person!) crystals of vanadinite, to 1.1 cm across. 2.8 x 2.2 x 2.0cm
A huge single floater crystal of vanadinite, a fine example of the incredible compound crystals that came out a few years back, showing beautiful hoppering. This crystal came out of the collection of Steve Smale. 3.2 x 3.1 x 1.4cm
Stacked, HIGHLY lustrous, vanadinite specimen, with great reddish-brown color, and which exhibits hopper growth. Very nice thumbnail, indeed! for the loccality, this is as good a thumb as you could possibly fdream up. IN PERSON it is more red, though in the pics the reflections off so many hoppered faces make it seem darker and more brown 2.3 x 1.3 x 1.2 cm
Looking more like a pyromorphite specimen, this vanadinite not only has hopper growth, but, multiple terminations. It is highly lustrous with a brownish-green hue and is wreathed at the bottom by colorless calcite crystals. Truly special and aesthetic! 3 x 1.6 x 1.1 cm
This is a classic vanadinite specimen from the world’s premier vanadinite locality. A 1.1 cm across gemmy, orange, vanadinite crystal has grown on a goethite stalactite. Very aesthetic! 2.7 x 1.4 x 1 cm
This very nice specimen of vanadinite features several crystals, locked together in a complex, but aesthetic pattern. The crystals are electrically gemmy, red, lustrous, and reach 1.5 cm across. This is a SUPERB thumbnail from finds of around 2000-2001. IT IS MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! 2.2 x 2 x 1.7cm
2.0 x 2.0 x 1.9 cm. An unusual and unique thumbnail from the North Geronimo Mine of Arizona. Sparkly vanadinite microcrystals are richly dusted on two, sharp, gray calcite after fluorite crystals. This is an excellent and showy Arizona pseudomorph and combination specimen from a mine close to the famous and now-closed Red Cloud Mine. Ex. Sam Nasser TN Collection.
The most treasured vanadinite specimens from this locality were those featuring gemmy, lustrous, orange to red, vanadinite crystals on white barite. This is such a piece, and so well balanced in a way hard to find for thumbnail sized specimens.. 2.5 x 2.4 x 1.6 cm
This is a very gemmy, lustrous, electrically red, hoppered, vanadinite specimen. of superior quality from ANY locale, especially this small mine 1.7 x 1.6 x 0.7 cm
Lustrous, hoppered, rusty-orange, vandinite crystals occur in parallel growth. 2.6 x 1.1 x 0.8 cm
I must say that the color and habit of these vanadinite crystals is very reminiscent of pyromorphite. Curving, olive green barrels, of lustrous, well formed vanadinite festoon a slab of limonite matrix. Unusual locality and unusual form! 2.8 x 2 x 0.9 cm
Translucent, hoppered, lustrous, orange, crystals of vanadinite abound on a matrix of mm size vanadinite crystals. Almost perfect, it has just a small spot of two missing xls in the middle there 2.7 x 1.6 x 1.2 cm
This is a near floater of lustrous, hoppered, brownish-green, vanadinite crystals from a most scarce locality. 1.8 x 1.5 x 1.4 cm
