Some of the best qualities you can ask for a Vanadinite specimen are shown in this superb cabinet piece. Engulfing the front side of a thin plate are perfectly-formed, gemmy Vanadinite crystals that are thoroughly saturated with an intense blend of red and burgundy. The largest of these Vanadinites reaches a jaw-dropping size of 3.0 centimeters. Just about every crystal shows deep, very well-defined hoppering that beautifully accents the Vanadinite's extremely glassy luster. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
