Vanadinite forms in the oxidation zone of lead deposits when vanadium-rich fluids react with already present minerals. It is used in industry to harden steel. Formed from often brilliant and well-defined hexagonal crystals, vanadinite is mainly found associated with \u003cstrong\u003ebaryte, calcite, cerussite, mimetite\u003c\/strong\u003e, and other \u003cstrong\u003eiron oxides\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVanadinite characteristics:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 2.7cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 46g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanadinite hardness: \u003cstrong\u003e2.5 to 3\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Mohs scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanadinite density: 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\u003eVanadinite aspects:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful Moroccan vanadinite composed of reddish-brown hexagonal crystals ranging in size from 1mm to 9mm for the largest.
