30479: Vanadinite and Mottramite - Was $24 Now $12 Touissit, Touissit-Bou Beker Mining District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region, Morocco Miniature - 2.9 x 2.9 x 2.2 cm 44 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order This specimen is 100% vanadinite,
composed of individual crystals reaching 1.7 cm. Many
crystal faces have nice luster. A few patches of
microcrystalline mottramite (identified visually) are also
present. Notable not for the color, but it's age (predates
the more popular red, tabular vanadinites) and the crystal
size. A small incomplete area on the base - probably where
detached from matrix - otherwise excellent overall
condition.
