Vanadinite forms in the oxidation zone of lead deposits when vanadium-rich fluids react with pre-existing minerals. It is used in industry to harden steel. Formed of often brilliant and well-defined hexagonal crystals, vanadinite can primarily be found associated with \u003cstrong\u003ebarite, calcite, cerussite, mimetite,\u003c\/strong\u003e and other \u003cstrong\u003eiron oxides.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacteristics of vanadinite: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 4.8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 4.8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 5.2cm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 111g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness of vanadinite: \u003cstrong\u003e2.5 to 3\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Mohs scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity of vanadinite: Between \u003cstrong\u003e6.8 and 7g\/cm³\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanadinite belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003ehexagonal\u003c\/strong\u003e crystal system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAspects of vanadinite: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good quality mineral if you are looking for an affordable vanadinite, or if it is your first for your collection, discover beautiful red hexagonal vanadinite crystals formed in clusters on top of a light rocky matrix typical of what is found in Mibladen, Midelt province, Morocco.
