About this specimen

Vanadinite is a lead chlorovanadate mineral with the chemical formula Pb₅(VO₄)₃Cl, crystallizing in the hexagonal system. It exhibits a brilliant adamantine to resinous luster and rates between 3 and 4 on the Mohs hardness scale. This particular specimen features well-formed, gemmy hexagonal crystals with a deep reddish-brown coloration, typical of high-quality Vanadinite from Morocco.
Originating from a historic mine in the Mibladen mining district of Morocco, this cluster reflects the region’s reputation for producing some of the finest Vanadinite specimens in the world. The crystals are perched atop a dark, heavy matrix, providing a striking contrast that enhances the visual appeal and display value of the piece.
Collectors value Moroccan Vanadinite for its rarity and distinctive crystal formations. This cluster’s large, lustrous crystals make it an exceptional display specimen and a significant addition to any mineral collection. Due to its relatively low hardness, it should be handled with care to avoid scratches or damage, and it is best kept away from harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
