Scintillating, partially gemmy, brick-red to cherry-red vanadinite prisms to 9 mm richly encrust all sides of the very sculptural matrix of diverging, parallel-growth clusters of snow-white baryte blades from Mibladen, Morocco. This excellent specimen is from the very small, late 1970s Moroccan find and was, until the great finds of the late 1990s and early 2000s, considered to be the finest vanadinite on baryte specimens from Morocco. They were very highly desirable. Highly representative of the species and find.
