A very sparkling, attractive cluster of pure vanadinite from one of those legendary and rare locations from old mineral days in Mexico, we hear about but seldom see for sale. This is a complete-all-around miniature with sharp, fine Crystals to 1.9 cm, high luster, a butterscotch-orange color, and some of which show interesting hoppered growth forms. It is a rare survivor of finds from the heyday of Mexican mineral collecting, I am told from the 1960s or 1970s.
