Description from the seller

Vanadinite – Touissit, Morocco

Splendid specimen of Vanadinite from Touissit, Morocco, a locality of great importance for the production of samples of this species.

The specimen is characterized by a rich aggregation of Vanadinite crystals in red-orange, intense orange and red-brown colors, with well-developed prism shapes and hexagonal terminations. The crystals are densely intergrown, creating a three-dimensional composition that is very spectacular and rich in details.

Numerous crystals feature glossy surfaces and vivid reflections, while some areas show a characteristic matrix covered by small crystals and alteration material, increasing the contrast and depth of the specimen.

A specimen of strong aesthetic impact, ideal for a mineral collection and display.
