Vanadinite on Barite Cluster, Crystals on Top - One of a Kind, 2 In

Where does your eye land first on a mineral? Here it is the top edge, where red vanadinite crystals line a barite cluster.

The main face is barite, and the vanadinite sits mostly along the top and front, which makes it easy to display: set it down front forward and the crystals face the room. The pale barite under the red gives the crystals strong contrast. It is compact and squarish, steady on a flat shelf, and works in a display cabinet, a sanctuary space or a desk tray. A collector adding vanadinite on barite to their collection will appreciate how clearly both minerals show here.

About Vanadinite on Barite

Barite is a soft mineral, 2.5 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale, that often forms bladed crystals and feels unusually heavy for a nonmetallic stone. Vanadinite, a lead mineral with a resinous to sub adamantine luster, grows on it in the oxidized zones of lead deposits, a pairing known from Mibladen, Morocco.

Stone Meaning: Vanadinite is traditionally associated with drive and creativity.
