A richly covered and showy plate of gemmy, translucent, orange-brown vanadinite crystals to 4 mm on quartz matrix from the J.C. Holmes Mine of Arizona. Minor periphery damage is certainly not detracting from this excellent, old-time piece. Self-collected by well-known Los Angeles collector Charlie Freed over 20 years ago. 8.2 x 6.8 x 2.0 cm
