A fine Mibladen miniature vanadinite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago. The front of this multi-sided specimen looks like a cogwheel cluster of intergrown, parallel-growth, highly lustrous, brick-red, hexagonal, blocky vanadinite prisms. The crystals are brick-red to reddish-brown on the backside. The blocky crystals have gorgeous flashes of yellow-orange fire, when viewed on end. This is a very near floater piece, with only one small point of attachment at the base. Very showy and classic material.
