Description from the seller

A true mineralogical gem. Black barite ridges are completely studded with blood-red vanadinite crystals. There are also white crystallizations of secondary minerals, such as calcite. Excellent contrast between the black, red, and white.
Hundreds of perfect red vanadinite crystals of excellent size. These specimens are now extremely rare.

The photos shown are taken in a special setup with strong lights. We try not to alter the color of the specimens shown. However, we recommend keeping the minerals in well-lit places to better appreciate their color.

Shipping is usually carried out the next day with tracking and great attention to packaging.

Shipments from the same customer will be grouped together, and excess shipping costs will be returned within the package itself or by other means, as agreed upon.
