AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Orange-Red Vanadinite on Barite Crystal Cluster
A Moroccan vanadinite and barite cluster with a rich contrast of glowing orange-red, deep reddish-brown and pale ivory. Numerous lustrous vanadinite crystals cover the surface, their reflective faces creating points of light among the radiating barite blades.
The layered arrangement gives this compact specimen a lively sculptural character. Pale barite provides a clear visual framework for the warmer crystals, making the piece an eye-catching accent for a mineral cabinet, desk or cabinet of curiosities. Presented on a transparent acrylic display stand.
Approximate specimen dimensions: 6.5 × 5.6 × 4 cm. Weight: 155 g.
Vanadinite is a lead chlorovanadate, Pb₅(VO₄)₃Cl, that crystallises in the hexagonal system. Its name reflects its vanadium content; the characteristic six-sided crystal forms provide a geometric contrast to the bladed barite beneath them.
