Vanadinite’s rich red to orange hexagonal crystals immediately draw the eye, while the barite provides a soft-toned, sculptural backdrop that enhances the crystal saturation and presentation. This combination is a staple of advanced mineral collections and remains one of the most iconic vanadium minerals in the world.
Perfect for:
Mineral collectors • Display cabinets • Educational collections • Museums
Dimensions: 2.5”x1.25”x1.25”
Weight: 73g
Vibrant vanadinite crystals with classic hexagonal form
Strong color contrast between vanadinite and barite matrix
Excellent crystal visibility and aesthetic placement
Highly collectible and widely recognized mineral association
Display-ready specimen with natural balance and depth
Vanadinite is a lead chlorovanadate mineral that crystallizes in the hexagonal system and is renowned for its bold coloration and sharply defined crystals. It often forms as lustrous hexagonal prisms or plates, making it one of the most visually recognizable minerals for collectors.
Barite (barium sulfate) commonly serves as a host matrix for vanadinite, offering a stable and visually complementary foundation. This pairing highlights both minerals beautifully, with the barite enhancing the vanadinite’s color intensity while adding dimensional complexity to the specimen.
Vanadinite on barite is considered a classic cabinet mineral combination, particularly valued for personal and educational collections
Well-formed vanadinite crystals with strong color saturation are increasingly difficult to source
Ideal for collectors focused on systematic mineralogy, aesthetic specimens, or classic mineral combinations
A timeless addition that fits seamlessly into both beginner and advanced collections
