Description
Emplaced on a mound of matrix are rather uniform sized crystals of vanadinite, to .8 cm across. The crystals are fat and equant, lustrous, doubly terminated. A few crystals exhibit gemmy highlights of yellow and orange from their side faces, characteristic of this pocket. Overall a very rich and 3-dimensional large specimen for the size and price range.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
