A fine, arborescent, Mibladen miniature vanadinite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago. The diverging clusters of highly lustrous, brick-red, hexgonal vanadinite prisms look like leaf-covered branches above the psilomelane-covered, white baryte "tree trunk." Viewed on end, many of the cogwheel-like, echelon vanadinite crystals have gemmy flashes of yellow and orange. An aesthetic, nearly pristine specimen from this famous find.
