Description
Rising up from a manganese coated Baryte pedestal of matrix is a huge, statuesque mound of intergrown, intense brick-reddish Vanadinite crystals to 1,2 cm across. This assemblage of robust barrel-shaped crystals exhibits fairly uniform intense red colour and superb luster. The piece is wonderfully 3-dimensional, like a spreading bush of brick-red, fat Vanadinite crystals. The colour is better than most others of the pocket, and consequently very attractive. It sits up (and photographs) dramatically, as if the crystals are coming out at you. Rarely do you see so much pristine, large, crystallized Vanadinites piled up in one place before! But this sculptural specimen on matrix really does impress.
