This specimen hosts large, lustrous, intensely colored vanadinite crystals on a matrix of complex, translucent calcite crystals!!! The vanadinite crystals are both perched on top of the calcite crystals as well as completely included within them!!! The vanadinite crystals have intense red color with lively orange highlights!!! The vanadinite crystals have razor sharp faces, glassly luster and marked clarity as well!!! The calcite crystals are undamaged and are present as a network of highly complex intergrown crystals!!! The calcite crystals have significant luster and clarity - allowing one to see the numerous vanadinite crystals included within them!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and displays magnificently all around!!! Absolutely gorgeous in person!!! This specimen retains an old label from the Frederick W.
