Vanadinite with numerous crystals – Mibladen, Morocco | Ref. 70

Specimen overview

This vanadinite forms a broad, relatively low specimen bearing numerous well-defined crystals. The most developed crystals display distinct hexagonal outlines, with flat, lustrous faces. They are accompanied by smaller crystals distributed across different areas of the matrix.

The crystallisation is arranged around a recessed central area and continues around the edges of the specimen. The different views shown in the video reveal an irregular distribution of crystals, alternating between groups of larger crystals and areas covered with finer crystallisation.
