Sharp, lustrous, brick-red, hexagonal vanadinite prisms to 1.7 cm very richly cover all sides of the sculptural matrix on this fine specimen from a brand new find near Mibladen, Morocco. Some of the vanadinites on the top of the front have a preferential coating of brown material, while the vanadinites on the back all have the brown coating. Highly representative of the species and new find. Expertly collected, all of the crystals are pristine, front and back. This piece is a near floater, with only a thin attachment ridge on the bottom.
