Mineral background
Vanadinite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Vanadinite specimens
Look for red, orange or brown hexagonal crystals, often on matrix. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Bright red-orange colour and sharp hexagonal crystals carry a premium.
Care and handling
Handle minimally, keep dry and wash hands after handling.
