This radiant vanadinite on barite specimen comes from the legendary Mibladen mining district in Morocco — world-renowned for producing the finest examples of this striking mineral combination.
Sharp, hexagonal vanadinite crystals glow with a deep red-orange hue and brilliant luster, perfectly contrasted by their soft white barite matrix. Each mirror-bright crystal face captures and reflects light, revealing the gemmy translucence and rich cherry-red color that define top-tier Moroccan vanadinite.
Measuring approximately 36 × 35 mm, this piece is compact yet commanding — ideal for display or as a cornerstone addition to a fine mineral collection.
