This vanadinite crystal group comes from the Mibladen mining district near Midelt in Morocco. Several red, hexagonally developed vanadinite crystals form a three-dimensional aggregate with only a small amount of visible matrix.
A dominant main crystal measuring approximately 1.2 cm in diameter is particularly noticeable. Its clearly developed crystal faces and pronounced luster distinguish it from the smaller, densely arranged surrounding crystals.
Vanadinite Crystal Group from Mibladen
Vanadinite is a lead chlorovanadate and one of the characteristic minerals of Morocco’s lead deposits. Mibladen is known worldwide for red to orange vanadinite crystals with a distinctly developed hexagonal habit.
The crystal group measures 4.5 × 2.0 × 1.5 cm and weighs 27 g. This makes it a compact miniature specimen with a prominent main crystal and a strongly three-dimensional crystal arrangement.
