Comment: An extremely elegant and aesthetic Mibladen vanadinite specimen from the finds 8-10 years ago. Scintillating, brick-red, hexgonal, vanadinite prisms, many with GEMMY flashes of yellow and orange richly and attractivey cover the sculptural, sturdy, thin matrix plate. The large, very well placed crystal is 1.1 cm and this beauty is pristine.

Minerals: Vanadinite (Pb₅(VO₄)₃Cl)
