AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vanadinite from Mibladen, Morocco, is a world-renowned classic, cherished by collectors for its exceptional quality and vibrant color. These striking specimens typically showcase lustrous, well-formed hexagonal crystals, often in vivid shades of scarlet red, orange-red, or honey-brown. While most crystals are a few millimeters to 3 cm, some recent finds have yielded larger, particularly vivid crystals up to 5 cm. It is frequently found on a host rock or associated with other lead minerals, though prized 'floater' specimens without matrix are highly sought after.
