SOLD
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, highly lustrous, brick-red, hexagonal, blocky vanadinite prisms. The crystals have more of a brown tint on the backside. The tabular crystals have beautiful flashes of yellow-orange fire, when viewed on end. The large crystal is 2.4 cm across and these sharp crystals have a very subtle, rounded component. Striking.
