This is a superb specimen with sharp, lustrous, undamaged crystals to 1.5 cm across, piled up on contrasting matrix, with the crystals standing out from one another to show themselves off from all sides. The specimen has been trimmed just right, so that it can be displayed either vertically or horizontally depending on your taste; it is flashy and dazzling either way. Good vanadinites such as this continue to be very desirable, despite the flood of lesser specimens.
