A superb cabinet combination specimen from the San Carlos Mine of Chihuahua, Mexico. Lustrous, caramel-colored, hexagonal vanadinite prisms to 1.1 cm are festooned on the 3-dimensional sulfide matrix covered with glassy, colorless, nearly transparent calcite rhombs. The calcite rhombs grew around the vanadinite prisms in many cases.
