Red hexagonal prisms of vanadinite. One crystal shows two interesting features. One is that it is partly hollow. The other is that only three adjacent sides of the hexagon have prism faces. The other three...
Dark brown descloizite on a bed of orange vanadinite. Lustrous yellow hexagonal vanadinite (or possibly mimetite?) in a small vugh on the side. Ex Jo Price Collection. Descloizite photo: Width of view 6mm. Stack of...
Orange colour-zoned hexagonal vanadinite with brown to greenish-black descloizite, and tiny white needles of mimetite. The vanadinite is interesting, with some hollow crystals, and others that look like they have been etched away or resorbed....
