Raw Vanadinite Cluster, on Barite Dolomite Matrix 44mm, from Mibladen, Morocco (36.92g)

This raw Vanadinite specimen from Mibladen, Morocco features a dense cluster of vibrant reddish-orange hexagonal crystals surrounding a deep crystal-lined pocket on a Barite and Dolomite matrix. The primary Vanadinite crystals range approximately 2–4 mm in length, with numerous smaller crystals filling the spaces between them and continuing deep inside the central pocket. White Barite blades, areas of crystallized Dolomite, and a small amount of contrasting dark mineral material add even more texture and dimension to this highly detailed small specimen.

Please Note: A few of the Vanadinite crystals show minor natural breakage where portions of their terminations have been lost. These areas are relatively small and do not detract from the specimen's overall appearance or extensive crystal coverage.
