Vanadinite on Hematite
specimen number:
8632357
location:
Mibladen, Midelt, Meknes-Tafilalet, Morocco
description:
I think a very unusual and attractive piece showing a bright lustrous botryoidal kidney ore hematite matrix hosting red tabular crystals of vanadanite to 1.0 cm in size. I can never remember handling a specimen from this area where the vanadinite is on a kidney ore matrix. Micro-chipping present in one area, this still in good condition.
