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 from often shiny and well-defined hexagonal crystals, vanadinite can be found mainly 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: 6.4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 4.8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 3.7cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 118g\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\u003eFormed on a light rock matrix typical of the Midelt province, here is our very beautiful vanadinite composed of hexagonal prism crystals of various sizes, ranging from less than 1mm to 7mm with an impressive variance of colors from a bright and shimmering red for the smallest crystals, to a slightly darker red and rather brown crystallization at the back of the mineral. All these variances and its correct size make it a true collector's stone that will brilliantly accompany your other stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e⚠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA lead-rich mineral, it remains a stone to be handled with care!
