A beautiful classic Vanadinite specimen consisting of lustrous, red-orange color tabular hexagonal crystals, forming a beautiful little mound on a matrix comprising most likely Goethite or Hollandite. The largest Vanadinite crystal is 8 mm across. Superb quality all the way around. These specimens from Taouz are not terribly common these days, and they deserve more attention for being some of the most impressive for the species extant.
