Vanadinite - Morocco - Mibladen

Vanadinite, Morocco, Mibladen Mining District, Atlas Mountains, Cherry-Red and Orange Hexagonal Crystals on Matrix

Item description
This is a vanadinite specimen from Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, sourced from the well-known Mibladen mining district. The crystals show strong cherry-red to orange color that reads clean and bright in hand. You get the classic vanadinite look here, sharp hexagonal crystals with that bold, geometric habit collectors chase. The piece sits on a desirable matrix, giving it contrast and a more complete “natural display” look instead of loose crystals.
