Description

This striking specimen features a vibrant cluster of vanadinite crystals aesthetically positioned on a pale, contrasting matrix. The crystals exhibit the classic hexagonal prismatic habit, ranging from tabular to elongated forms. They possess an intense, saturated colour that shifts from deep ruby-red to fiery orange-red depending on the angle of light.

The faces of the crystals are exceptionally sharp and display a high-gloss, sub-adamantine lustre. The arrangement of the crystals creates a dramatic three-dimensional display against the earthy host rock.
