Vanadinite forms in the oxidation zone of lead deposits when vanadium-rich fluids react with existing minerals. It is used in industry to harden steel. Composed of often brilliant and well-defined hexagonal crystals, vanadinite is mainly found associated with \u003cstrong\u003ebarite, 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: 6.3cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 3.5cm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 110g\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\u003eAppearance of vanadinite: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful collector's mineral, discover our crystallized vanadinite weighing 110g from Mibladen, Morocco. You will find crystallization in almost perfect condition across the top, with a lovely nuanced color ranging from red to slightly orange in places, and rather brownish at the back. The hundreds of red crystals formed on top vary from about 1mm to 6mm and are beautifully formed with a nice luster. The brownish crystals at the back also add quality and rarity to the vanadinite. All in all, it's a true stone to add to your display case, perhaps with a nice light above it to appreciate it best.\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 handle with care!
