Description from the seller

A stunning and impressive specimen of Moroccan vanadinite weighing over 5 kg!
With exceptional dimensions of more than 24 x 20 x 10 cm, this specimen presents itself as an absolute rarity, suitable to be the jewel centerpiece of a mineral collection, also for its striking presence due to exceptional luster.
In the specimen, vanadinite displays its characteristic brown-reddish color with crystals reaching up to about 5 mm.
The vanadinite sits perfectly atop the underlying white barite ridges, and the pattern created is further enriched by clearly visible manganese oxide crystals.
The quality of the pattern created by the crests and crystals can be best seen in the high-magnification photographs attached to the lot description.
This unique piece is truly a marvel to explore!
Carefully packaged and tracked shipment, sent via express courier.
