This superfine miniature cluster of intergrown vanadinite crystals, to 2.2 cm across exhibits tabular and equant forms with superb luster. Many Crystals feature the reddish core color with gemmy yellow to orange highlights that are characteristic of this pocket. Several crystals exhibit the cogwheel or gear-like form that is also so unusual, for this pocket.. Incipient hopper growth has added to the complexity of these gear-like, interlinked crystals. Very aesthetic, superb miniature that we consider one of the best of the pocket in its size class!
