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 shiny and well-defined hexagonal crystals, vanadinite can primarily be found associated with \u003cstrong\u003ebaryte, calcite, cerussite, mimetite,\u003c\/strong\u003e and other \u003cstrong\u003eiron oxides\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacteristics of Vanadinite: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 8.9cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 5.1cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 3.3cm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 128g\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 Moroccan discovery from 2022, here is a sublime vanadinite with crystals that are slightly dark red in places, more intense and vibrant on one of its faces, and light brown at the back. Admire its formation of hexagonal crystals of very good quality, with sizes ranging from less than 1mm for the smallest to 11mm for the largest, and formed on a light beige matrix that perfectly matches the red of the vanadinite!
