VANADINITE SPECIMENS

Vanadinite is a striking mineral known for its vibrant red, orange, and brown hues, often forming in dense clusters of hexagonal prismatic or tabular crystals with a glassy, resinous shine. Found in the oxidized zones of lead deposits, vanadinite typically associates with minerals like barite, wulfenite, and galena. Though relatively fragile with a hardness of 3-4 on the Mohs scale, its bold colors and sharp crystal formations make vanadinite a favorite among collectors.
