Vanadinite with Barite
specimen number:
8632356
location:
Mibladen, Midelt, Meknes-Tafilalet, Morocco
description:
Thick red tabular crystals of vanadinite measuring to 1.2 cm in size across all sides of this bladed white barite matrix. Some micro-chipping is present as seen, this is still in good condition. In one area on the specimen I can see some glue. I do not believe that the piece is repaired, I believe this was to help stabilize the specimen. I can find no areas look to me as if it was a repair. This area is pointed out in the video. The specimen would date to the 1970s.
Size: 7.5 x 5.0 x 3.0 cm (small-cabinet)
Collection: Stan Woollams
