About this specimen
Scarlet confetti across charcoal. Hundreds of vanadinite crystals — hexagonal tablets and short barrels, most only a few millimetres across — are strewn over a dark matte matrix, and the light does two things at once: thin edges glow orange-red like backlit glass, while flat basal faces flare white under the lamp. The densest colour follows the right-hand rim, where crystals crowd into a continuous crust.
Vanadinite, Pb5(VO4)3Cl, belongs to the oxidised zone: it forms where descending water reworks primary lead ore under arid conditions, which is why Morocco supplies so much of the best. Vanadium gives the colour; lead gives the surprising heft in the hand. At Mohs 3 and brittle, it wants a soft brush and nothing abrasive — the crystal edges chip long before the matrix does.
The plate measures 6.9 × 1.5 × 5.3 cm and weighs 75 g, thin enough to lie flat in a drawer or lean upright in a case. No base was used for these photographs, which show this specimen exactly as it is.
