Natural Vanadinite Crystal Cluster on Barite - One of a Kind, 3 In

Palm sized, this natural vanadinite cluster still carries crystals across its top and front.

Most of the main face is barite, and the vanadinite crystals gather along the upper edge, so it reads best set facing out in a display case, a curio shelf or a shadow box. The compact size is easy to fit into a growing collection, and it makes a good gift for someone who already owns the usual quartz and amethyst and wants a mineral with more of a story.

About Vanadinite on Barite

Vanadinite is a lead chlorovanadate and an ore of vanadium. It forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidized zone of lead deposits, especially in arid climates, and its crystals are usually red to orange red with a resinous to sub-adamantine luster. Barite, a dense barium sulfate, is one of the minerals it grows with, and Mibladen in Morocco is a well known source of vanadinite on barite.

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