A vibrant, complete miniature-sized cluster of 3-dimensional crystals. The side edges have yellow-orange flashes of internal gemminess that are striking. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Xls to 2.2 cm tall
A vibrant, complete toenail-sized cluster of 3-dimensional crystals. The side edges have yellow-orange flashes of internal gemminess that are striking. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Xls to 1.5 cm
A geometric, stairstep-like cluster of stacked hexagonal crystals, one atop the other. Very dramatic, but inexpensive because of minute edge wear.
A single giant composite crystal, 4.25 cm across, composed of smaller subcrystals which pop out faces to 2.5 cm. VERY big and impressive crystallographically, if a bit weaker on lustre than others here. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Impressive from the front display angle, for its robustness
A lustrous, complete-all-around , miniature-sized cluster of 3-dimensional crystals. The side edges have yellow-orange flashes of internal gemminess that are striking. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Xls to 2 cm
A lustrous, complete-all-around , miniature-sized cluster of 3-dimensional crystals. The side edges have yellow-orange flashes of internal gemminess that are striking. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Xls to 1.7 cm.
A lustrous, complete-all-around , miniature-sized cluster of 3-dimensional crystals. The side edges have yellow-orange flashes of internal gemminess that are striking. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Xls to 2.5 cm. VERY ROBUST AND IMPRESSIVE, quite a good piece distinct from many earlier finds.
Very geometric piece with two very different display faces! A lustrous, complete-all-around , miniature-sized cluster of 3-dimensional crystals. The side edges have yellow-orange flashes of internal gemminess that are striking. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. large Xls to 2.5 cm. Relatively cheaper than others here because it has a few (small) dings on the major crystal.
A stunning miniature with cogwheel-like form and superb, radiating crystals. pristine and complete all around. The side edges have flashes of internal yellow-orange color and of gemminess that is striking. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Xls to 1.7 cm. A superior miniature at a good price, with the best qualities of this pocket.
Unusually elongated crystals to 2.7 cm form the core, reaching vertically up, of this unusual cluster. The front face is bizarre and mesmerizing in its form. The side faces are slightly coated (and hence not lustrous) and the back has a powdery secondary coating of vanadinite as with most of this pocket. The piece overall, from the display frontal face, is most unusual as you can see.

Gorgeous, flowery miniature with excellent form. Sadly, one small ding on the front lower xl detracts a little and thus price is halved. XLS to 2.5 cm. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite.
Really outstanding toenail-sized specimen with fat crystals and excellent display. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Xls to 2 cm
A complete-all-around tightly packed crystal cluster of cogwheel-like , gear-shaped crystals in tight arrangement. VERY geometric! Has sharp edges with flashes of yellow-orange and gemminess. As with much of this pocket, the backside is covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Superb miniature!
A stunning miniature with a huge composite crystal atop. Frm the sides you see the cogwheel-like form and superb, radiating crystals typical of this pocket. pristine and complete all around. The side edges have orange-yellow flashes of internal gemminess that are striking. UNLIKE much of this pocket, the backside is NOT covered by an oriented secondary growth of powdery brown vanadinite. Huge crystals, complete all around, with geometry and flash. Just a great miniature of a robust style very differrent than many past finds here.
A big fat, flowery crystal, very unlike others here in its form. Coated with secondary powdery brown vanadinite on back and sides, hence inexpensive for a large crystal as the pride is adjusted accordingly
