TD14V4: Vanadinite
A novelty at Tucson 2012. Unusual crystalline shape for the Vanadinite, whose aggregates are formed by dipyramidal crystals of very well defined faces and edges. They show a creamy color and are on matrix.
San Antonio Mine (San Antonio el Grande Mine), chimenea Cox, level 4, East Camp, Santa Eulalia District, Municipio Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua  Mexico (2011)

TG60F9: Vanadinite
Initially one might think this is a single crystal, but really is a group of crystals sharing the upper face. While this face shows the vivid red color typical of Vanadinite from Morocco, the lateral view (corresponding to the prism faces) reveals a range of tones from intense orange to the most spectacular red.

Huge crystal size on this arsenical Vanadinite (more Arsenic than in normal Vanadinite but not enough Arsenic to make it the variety endlichite).

JFD83AO0: Vanadinite (variety As-bearing)
This is one of the first arsenical vanadinites I got. When the Touissit mine was in operation, they were not very common, and I remember that they were expensive. Later, with the mine already closed, more arsenical vanadinites have been found in old workings, or in artisanal diggings in areas further north of Touissit. In any case, it is a good piece, with a much more intense color than the more recent specimens and with some lighter color zoning that gives it a curious appearance. The piece is a floater and does not have any damaged crystals.

JFD114AO3: Vanadinite on Baryte
There are so many many vanadinites around, but when they are showy they still make us tremble, especially when of top color and on white Baryte, which gives them a spectacular aesthetic.
