A fine cluster of lustrous orange vanadinites from one of the world's great localities. The attractive hexagonal crystals have superb luster and a most unusual, and engaging, orange color. The largest of the tabular vanadinites is about 1 cm across. This is a very rare piece in that the orange-red color is rarer than the pure red hues we normally see. Ex. Charlie Key stock.
