Supremely lustrous, gemmy and partially IRIDESCENT deep-red blocky vanadinite crystals from the mid to late-80's finds. It has to be seen in person to appreciate how darned GOOD the color and luster are! Now, it is pristine AND complete all around save for one tiny contact on one rear-facing crystal. Anyways, it displays like a banshee and is a KILLER miniature, even despite the flood of recent vana's that came out the last few years. This old material, the best of it, is STILL the best in my book! I know people are feeling blase about them now but you have to remember how few really top-tier pieces there are amongst the thousands of specimens that came out a few years back. Truly great vana's are simply STILL uncommon. 5.0 x 3.5 x 3.2 cm
