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.
