This one glitters. Hundreds of tiny vanadinite crystals in deep red orange, each a little six sided barrel with a glassy face, are sprinkled thick over a bed of pink and cream barite. The barite grows in blades, stacked like the pages of a book or the petals of a rose, and the vanadinite catches on every edge, so the whole piece sparkles when you turn it under a lamp. One side is almost all crystal crust, red and glinting, and the other side shows the pale barite blades with just a dusting of red across them.
It is a small specimen, a palm sized piece with real weight for its size, and it stands on its own on a flat spot at the base. This is the kind of mineral people keep on a desk or a windowsill where the light can get at it.
Vanadinite is read as the stone of getting things done, tied to the root and the sacral centers, to energy, focus, and the stamina to see a long project through. It is a favorite of people who work with their hands and their heads at once. Barite is taken as its calm counterpart, a stone for clear thinking and for staying grounded while you dream big, so the pairing is read as drive with steadiness under it.
The product photographs show the exact piece you will receive.

Please note: vanadinite is a lead mineral, so this is a display piece. Wash your hands after handling it and keep it away from children and pets. The crystals are natural and delicate; expect small bare patches and a few crystals that have come loose in the matrix. These are part of the stone, not damage. You are receiving the exact piece shown.
Because natural minerals are delicate and can be damaged by the stress of shipping, we are unable to accept returns. If your item arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours with photos and we will make it right.
