Huge 5.5" Deep Red Vanadinite Crystal Cluster - Morocco
This is a huge and exceptionally brilliant cluster of large, blood red vanadinite crystals from Midelt, Morocco. They exhibit excellent color saturation, and a flashy, mirror luster. The crystals have sharp, well-defined edges and many are quite large, up to .4" across. This massive specimen sits nicely on a flat surface, displaying aesthetically without the need for a display stand.

About Vanadinite
Vanadinite is a mineral belonging to the apatite group of phosphates, with the chemical formula Pb5(VO4)3Cl. It is one of the main industrial ores of the metal vanadium and a minor source of lead. A dense, brittle mineral, it is usually found in the form of red hexagonal crystals.
Safety Warning: The lead and vanadium in the vanadinite can be harmful if absorbed into the blood stream by inhalation or ingestion. The crystals won't pose a health hazard just sitting on a shelf, but we recommend that you wash your hands after handling.
