Pristine, 1.6" Deep Red Vanadinite Cluster - Large Crystals
This is a lustrous aggregation of large, undamaged deep red and light brown, vanadinite crystals from Midelt, Morocco. They exhibit excellent color saturation, and a mirror luster on an iron-rich matrix. This specimen is a cluster of hundreds of both small and large, high quality crystals.
Vanadinite is a mineral belonging to the apatite group of phosphates, with the chemical formula Pb5(VO4)3Cl. It is one of the main industrial ores of the metal vanadium and a minor source of lead. A dense, brittle mineral, it is usually found in the form of red hexagonal crystals.
The lead and vanadium in the vanadinite can be harmful if absorbed into the blood stream by inhalation or ingestion. The crystals won't pose a health hazard just sitting on a shelf, but we recommend that you wash your hands after handling.
