Two sided and petite, this vanadinite fits in a specimen box and lets you decide which face to show.
It was hand cut from its source, and a band of quartz matrix runs through the middle, joining the two crystal sides. That pale quartz makes the red crystals read brighter, especially under a desk lamp. It suits a thumbnail collection, a curio cabinet or a small gift for a friend getting into minerals. One small, well formed specimen often says more than a jar of chips.
About Vanadinite
Vanadinite rates only 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale, so small specimens are best kept in a box rather than loose with harder stones. Its short hexagonal prisms come in bright red, orange red, brown or yellow, and notable localities include Morocco, Namibia, Arizona and New Mexico.
Stone Meaning: Vanadinite is traditionally associated with drive and creativity.
