Raw Vanadinite Druzy Crystals on Dolomite Matrix, 60.4mm Natural Specimen from Mibladen, Morocco (75.20g)

This beautiful raw Vanadinite specimen from Mibladen, Morocco features thousands of tiny sparkling red to reddish-orange druzy crystals blanketing large areas of a naturally patterned Dolomite matrix. The Vanadinite ranges from extremely fine druzy to larger, more defined crystals, creating an incredible sparkle as the specimen is moved through both direct and indirect light. The cream and tan Dolomite is heavily marked with distinctive black dendritic-looking patterns, giving portions of the matrix an almost leopard-print appearance. This is older Moroccan material that I have personally held in my collection for more than 10 years.
