Description
While vanadinite from Mibladen is quite common on the market in recent years, much of the new find material does not compare to earlier ones in color or luster, with many having dull luster and pale red to light brown color. Thus, examples with bright, deep red, lustrous and gemmy vanadinite crystals have become more and more uncommon on the market. This floater thumbnail-sized cluster is a great example of the more desirable material from Mibladen -- lustrous, gemmy, blood-red crystals with no major damage to speak of outside of contacting on the bottom where it was removed from matrix. A fantastic thumbnail -- at a great price!

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
