Description

Vanadinite on Baryte
Mibladen mining district, Midelt Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco
23.6 x 14.9 x 8.3 cm (9.3 x 5.9 x 3.3 in)

This cabinet specimen prolifically presents some of the most desirable traits one could ask from a Mibladen Vanadinite specimen. All over the top side of a thick host rock plate are several interwoven groups of near-pristine, brilliant white Baryte blades, all of which are generously dusted with hundreds of striking, flashy Vanadinite crystals (up to 0.6 centimeters). The Vanadinite is slightly translucent with a rich reddish-burgundy color that stands out wonderfully against the clusters of Bartye.
