Large Vanadinite Cluster on Matrix, Red Face - One of a Kind, 4.2 In

Plenty of host rock stayed attached to this vanadinite, framing a full face of red crystals in the stone they grew on.

The crystal face glimmers in any light, and the different shades of red stand out clearly against the darker host rock. Because so much matrix stays attached, it shows the crystals in context, the way a collector likes to see them. It fills a palm and then some, which makes it a satisfying centerpiece for a mineral shelf or a desk. It makes an easy gift for a collector moving up from thumbnail specimens to something with more presence.

About Vanadinite

Vanadinite usually forms bright red or orange red crystals with a resinous to sub adamantine luster, which is what makes a crystal face glimmer. It is a secondary mineral from the oxidized zone of lead deposits, often found with barite, and it is mined as an ore of vanadium.

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