This specimen has very large crystals up to 1.5cm on edge. The color is is a dark red with a hint of gunmetal grey. The semi metallic luster combined with the red is excellent. There is some etching present on the lower left hand side of the specimen. Overall quite a nice example from this iconic mining district and the recent finds made there in the last few years of exceptionally large vanadinite crystals.
