About Vanadinite
Vanadinite is a special mineral known for its striking cascade of red colors, hexagonal crystals, and varieties of presentations.  It can present colors from electric blood to orange and brown, and the crystals can be tabular, elongated, partially melted, stepped, hoppered, clustered, isolated, and more.  This variety of composition makes it quite collectable and a pleasure to behold.  The dominant locality is Mibladen mining district, Morocco, with almost the entirety of collectible specimens coming from this area.  There have been some rumors of the deposit coming to and end, but the inventory of the Moroccan dealers seems to indicate otherwise, for now.  Vanadinite can also be found with commonly associated minerals, particularly barite.  When the barite occurs pure white and vanadinite is bright red with isolated growths, the contrast and appearance is absolutely incredible!  Vanadinite is a very soft mineral, so it must be treated with care.  You can easily damage or destroy your specimen with just your fingers, so dropping it certainly isn’t a good idea!  We work hard to find some of the best vanadinite crystals in the world, check out our shop to discover them!
