Vanadinite on Barite Freeform - One of a Kind, Long 7 In Specimen

A long, low profile sets this vanadinite on barite freeform apart.

The main face carries a heavy layer of barite, while vanadinite crystals glisten along the top and front of the stone. The long, narrow shape suits a mantel, a shelf edge or the front row of a cabinet, where the crystals face the viewer. Vanadinite, with its hexagonal crystals, is a classic collector mineral, and seeing them on barite shows how they grow in nature. It is a strong choice for a mineral collector, a rockhound friend or anyone setting up a sanctuary or altar shelf.

About Vanadinite on Barite

Vanadinite is lead chlorovanadate, about 73 percent lead, and it usually forms short hexagonal crystals in red, orange red, brown or yellow. It is an ore of vanadium. Barite, barium sulfate, is unusually heavy for a nonmetallic mineral, and its name comes from the Greek word for heavy.

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