Prior to the seemingly endless flow of Vanadinite from Morocco, the Old Yuma mine just outside Tucson in Arizona was one of the world's premier sources of fine specimens and certainly the leading contender within the USA. What is lovely about this large miniature specimen is the sumptuous resinous lustre and rich burnt-orange brown colour of the well-defined hexagonal prisms of Vanadinite richly scattered across matrix. These crystals reach 4 mm in length.

Vanadinite from Yuma Mine, Arizona, USA
The locality name on many older labels reads simply “Yuma Mine” or “Old Yuma Mine,” but the classic collector locality is not in Yuma County and not near the city of Yuma. It is the Old Yuma Mine in the Tucson Mountains of Pima County, now within the Tucson Mountain District of Saguaro National Park. For vanadinite collectors, that distinction matters: Old Yuma pieces are a historic Arizona suite, quite different in feel from the modern Moroccan abundance that dominates today’s market.
