Presenting an extraordinary Endlichite specimen—an exceptionally fine example of this arsenate-rich variety of vanadinite. Distinguished by its warm, earthy palette of honeyed amber, coppered browns, and metallic undertones, this piece displays the complex mineral qualities and refinement that high-end collectors value.
The crystal habit is sharp, lustrous, and unusually well-defined, with tightly clustered hexagonal prisms forming a sculptural matrix that feels both intentional and organic. Under direct lighting, each crystal facet ignites with a radiant shimmer, revealing microtextures and internal reflections that reward slow, deliberate viewing. Its overall composition has a commanding presence—balanced, intricate, and rich without feeling chaotic.
Endlichite is an arsenic-rich variety of vanadinite, but don’t let that scare you. As long as you don’t ingest or inhale it, it’s completely safe.
With it only being found in 4 known locations, Endlichite exists along a spectrum between Vanadinite and Mimetite, with more arsenic replacing some of the vanadium found in Vanadinite. This mineral is quite rare and forms when primary lead minerals like Galena are exposed to air and water, causing them to break down. Endlichite then forms in cracks and empty spaces within rocks, often alongside other minerals.
This is the kind of specimen that appeals to connoisseurs who appreciate minerals that combine scientific significance and intrigue with high visual aesthetics. Endlichite’s unique chemistry and distinctive coloration make it a standout addition to advanced collections seeking depth beyond standard display minerals.

Endlichite is less commonly encountered in top-tier quality compared to pure vanadinite, making fine examples like this notably desirable.
Its complex chemistry and transitional nature between vanadinite and mimetite often draw interest from collectors focusing on mineralogical evolution.
High-luster crystals with sharp geometry, such as those on this piece, trade infrequently on the market.
A refined and noteworthy specimen—perfect for the high-end collector who values minerals that are both scientifically compelling and visually arresting.
Exceptional Crystal Quality: Sharp, prismatic forms with outstanding luster and well-defined terminations.
Rich, Warm Palette: Signature golden-brown hues with subtle metallic flashes under directional light.
Architectural Aesthetics: Dense, sculptural crystal clustering that displays beautifully from multiple angles.
Mineralogical Significance: A coveted variety representing the fascinating chemical transition within the vanadinite–mimetite series.
