Tremendous specimen of the classic Vanadinites-that-look-like-Pyromorphites. The display surface is completely covered with undamaged crystals that range from a few mm up to 2 cm. The color is a tannish-grey and the luster is superb. Many of the crystals are hoppered, and many of the others have a preferential coating on the termination that mimics hoppering.
