About this specimen

Wine-red vanadinite crystals encrust almost every face of this Moroccan piece, hundreds of stubby hexagonal barrels packed shoulder to shoulder. Where light strikes a basal face the colour flips from deep garnet-brown to bright silver. A fan of black bladed crystals spreads across the crown, and in the hollows below sit patches of apricot-yellow ochre and chalk-white crust, all of it riding on a tan host rock.

Vanadinite is a lead chlorovanadate, Pb5(VO4)3Cl, grown in the oxidised upper levels of lead deposits where descending groundwater rewrites the older ore. It crystallises in the hexagonal system with an adamantine to resinous lustre, and at Mohs 3–4 it bruises easily — lift the piece by its matrix and keep a soft brush, never a cloth, anywhere near the crystal faces.

The specimen runs 7.6 × 5.3 × 4.1 cm and weighs 125 g. You are buying the piece in front of the lens, which stands on its own tan matrix and needs no stand.
