Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of vanadinite after wulfenite from Los Lamentos!!! This specimen consists of a group of large, blocky crystals of
wulfenite that have been replaced by fine, sparkling, prismatic root-beer colored crystals of arsenatian vanadinite (sometimes known as endlichite)!!!
There are a few small areas where one can see some exposed wulfenite, but it is clear
that there is some significant pseudomorphic replacement as well with some of the crystals being entirely replaced!!! There are some tiny unidentified pinkish
crystals in minor association as well!!! Simply a fantastic Los Lamentos classic!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 23rd!!!
